Native American Navajo Made Glass and Ghost Bead Necklaces by Andrea Begay

These wonderful simple single strands of glass beads in wine and deep pink are combined with ghost beads for a beautiful and simple necklace, handcrafted by Navajo silversmith Andrea Begay. The ghost beads are dried juniper or cedar berries that are usually lightly smoked and strung in a classic manner. These ghost beads are thought to represent a connection between the earth, trees, animals and humans. The jewelry is said to bring peace, harmony and safety to the wearer. These are very festive necklaces worn as a group or individually. Lobster claw closures.
