Elegant, distinctive, and unmistakably Southwestern, this sterling silver handstamped Maiden Lariat showcases the artistry and design language collectors have come to associate with celebrated Navajo silversmith Eula Wiley. Featuring vibrant Water Web Kingman Turquoise stones framed by intricate sterling silver stampwork and traditional decorative motifs, the necklace flows gracefully into a classic lariat drop that creates both movement and visual impact. The highly sought-after Water Web variety of Kingman Turquoise is prized for its vivid blue color and dramatic webbing patterns, making each stone uniquely beautiful. Carefully matched throughout the necklace, the stones are complemented by substantial sterling silver work that reflects generations of Navajo silversmithing tradition.
