Multi-Stone Inlay Necklace

Necklace. Many small rectangular and geometric stone pieces in blue, blue-green, orange and red are set flush in a mosaic inlay pattern, with thin silver lines separating the segments. The silver is smooth and polished rather than stamped, with visible hinge-style connectors joining the inlaid panels. No bezel-set cabochons or cluster work appear. Made by B. Joe, Navajo. Measures 16 in. One piece, held at the gallery in Santa Fe.
