Vintage Turquoise Naja Pendant & Necklace
This is a fabulous dramatic vintage Navajo made pendant necklace.
Circa 1970’s.
It has wonderful old Navajo silversmithing and craftsmanship and it’s huge! I took lots of pictures of this piece so you can really see. It is in great uncleaned condition.
The pendant part has a lovely old turquoise stone that is a sky blue with a bit of white and a dark gold matrix. It is set in a bit to create a shadow box effect.
Weight : 82 grams on my scale.
It's unmarked as to silver content and artist, which is not unusual for the times. The turquoise stone is just over 5/8” tall by 3/4” wide. The pendant part is almost 2 3/4” tall by 2 7/8” at it’s widest point. The necklace is 22” long. You’ll note the very old price of $195 is still on the back, that’s the way it came to me. I placed a quarter there for scale. A unique piece.
I'm very much a fan of Vintage Native American Jewelry. This jewelry has not been cleaned and will not be perfect.
There's a certain amount of wear on older pieces which is to be expected
and I always wonder what stories they'd have to tell in their travels through time.
Some pieces are unmarked as to artist and silver content. What you see is what you get!
Sure to make a Fine addition to any collection, or a great gift! Please note: Pictures are enlarged to show detail, remember everything looks bigger on line :)
