Product Description
This sterling silver cluster type necklace with natural Sleeping Beauty Turquoise was handmade by husband and wife Navajo Artisans, Alice and David Lister. This delicate and beautifully made necklace can be worn as a choker or a bit longer if desired. It measures from 15″ to 19″ plus the 1-1/4″ X 2″ naja at the bottom.
Silversmiths Alice and David Lister, who helm one of today’s most highly regarded families of Navajo jewelers, reflect both tradition and contemporary style in their stunning hand-cast work.
The couple married in 1972 and has been making silver and gold jewelry together since 1975. Their small, tidy workshop on the Navajo reservation in northeastern Arizona hosts both Alice and David, as well as their daughter Dee Nez and, on weekends, her younger sister Clarissa Hale and husband Vernon – all accomplished jewelers. (Andrienna Tapaha and Andee Lister, two other Lister daughters, craft jewelry in Flagstaff.)
