Navajo Pearls are traditionally made sterling silver beads. Silver beads are a traditional art form for Diné silversmiths, and the beads have as many expressions as there are artisans. … Making the beads is a time-consuming process. Each bead begins with silver that has to be melted, rolled and cut.

What is the history of Navajo pearls?

Navajo Pearls are traditionally made sterling silver beads. Handmade sterling beads are often part of a Squash Blossom necklace, and are also made to be worn alone as a single strand necklace, layered or with pendants

The largest Native American tribe, The Navajo, has a history that dates back to the 1500’s. At the time, Native American tribes made beads by hand from the natural resources available to them.  Navajo Pearls are made of sterling silver and every individual one is handmade from cutting all the way through to stringing.
