Liquid silver refers to fine, small tubular sterling silver beads (often called silver heishi) that are hand-strung in single or multiple strands. When closely strung, they create a fluid, shimmering, rope-like effect that flows like liquid silver—hence the name. This technique is traditional in Navajo and other Southwestern Native American jewelry, giving a lightweight, elegant drape that's perfect for chokers. The turquoise spacer beads add pops of color and contrast, breaking up the silver for a balanced, earthy look. Turquoise is iconic in this style, symbolizing healing and protection in many Native cultures. The silver barrel clasp (or enclosure) is a common secure closure for these pieces—often a screw-on type for easy on\/off and a clean, minimalist finish. This design is dainty yet striking, typically 15–17 inches for a true choker fit that sits high on the neck. It's versatile: great layered with other necklaces, worn alone for everyday boho vibes, or dressed up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvenance:  From the Len and Toni Wood Private Collection, Laguna Beach, California\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47453944250533,"sku":"5231-590","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/5231-590_1.jpg?v=1769794290","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/navajo-sterling-silver-choker-necklace","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
