Old Style Native American Hopi Made Necklace and Earrings with Royston Turquoise and Gel Sugilite by Raynard Lalo

This beautiful old style necklace strung with handcut Royston turquoise and gel sugilite stones and finished with Sterling silver fittings was made by Hopi carver Raynard Lalo. The gel sugilite is a rare semiprecious stone from South Africa and is more valuable the more it looks like grape jelly. Raynard cut the beads for this set one at a time, the old style way. The necklace and earrings truly harken back to the old days and Raynard did a fabulous job.
