Native American Liquid Silver

This necklace features elongated tubular beads strung together in three layers, shimmering softly as it catches the light with every movement.

It blends well with other jewelry, allowing you to express your style freely, from casual to elegant, depending on your mood for the day.

The Name Born in 1955 at the Santa Fe Market

The origin of this liquid silver dates back to the Santa Fe Indian Market in 1955. Raymond and Mary, a couple from the Santo Domingo Pueblo, first showcased a necklace made of delicate silver beads, which astonished onlookers with its unprecedented delicacy, leading to the description "as light as water," and thus the term "liquid silver" was born. Since then, this technique has been passed down to artisans from the Navajo and Santo Domingo tribes, continuing the tradition of craftsmanship in the American Southwest.

The More You Use It, the More Character It Gains: Sterling Silver

Made from 92.5% pure silver, this sterling silver necklace features a delicate structure where hollow straw beads are threaded together with ultra-fine nylon thread, combining flexibility and durability, ensuring it can be cherished across generations. The patina (oxidation) that develops over time adds a unique charm that is characteristic of silver jewelry. Maintenance is simple—just wipe it with a silver polishing cloth, and it will develop its own unique character with each wear.

The Importance of Authenticity: What ZUTTO Values

This versatile necklace pairs well with any outfit, making it a wonderful gift for special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas, or Valentine's Day for your loved ones.
