How can you tell if Navajo pearls are real?

To tell if Navajo pearls are real, first look at the clasp. Genuine pieces produced by Navajo artisans will usually feature an open-hook clasp. Also, examine the sterling silver beads that make up the necklace carefully. Because artisans craft each one by hand, no two beads will be identical. A necklace with completely uniform beads is unlikely to be genuine. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Navajo jewelry.
