NEW! Large Navajo turquoise decorated pendant. The silversmith uses a large square cut and polished turquoise stone that sports tan, brown, dark brown, and black matrix throughout. The artist sets the stone into a smooth silver bezel wrapping it with twisted wire. He continues decorating by running repeat stamped smooth wire around the top and both sides which butts into a silver drop on each end. The artist adds nine (9) strips of silver under the stone with circular stampwork that graduate in length from each side to the middle and are separated with silver drops. All mounted to a blackened silver base. The artist finishes the pendant by attaching a large decorative stamped silver bale that catches a twisted with hoop with silver drops to each side.
