White Buffalo Flower Lariat Necklace – Lyle Piaso Sterling Silver

Bold, sculptural expression of Diné silversmithing, this handcrafted White Buffalo necklace was created by Lyle Piaso, a third‑generation Navajo jeweler based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The stones originate from the Tonopah, Nevada region, formed as a white calcite–quartz mix with sharply defined black chert matrix. Because 

The sterling silver setting measures 3.5 x 1.75 inches and holds 11 large stones, arranged with strong visual balance and presence. The full necklace length is 28 inches with dangle, while the silver chain adjusts up to 20 inches, allowing the piece to sit comfortably at multiple heights. Piaso’s craftsmanship keeps the focus on the stones: confident structure, clean lines, and a traditional Navajo aesthetic that feels both grounded and contemporary.

White Buffalo carries an energy of clarity and direction — a stone associated with truth, contrast, and walking a clean path. Paired with Lyle Piaso’s lineage‑driven metalwork, this necklace becomes a powerful statement piece of wearable Native art, substantial in silhouette and unmistakably alive.
