    • Unisex One of a Kind piece Navajo pendant. Double Naja pendant in mat silver with ends in hand shape.  This pendant is made with the Tufa Cast technique, one of the oldest processes used by the Navajos: The artist takes a mold made of volcanic stone (tufa) and divises it in two parts. In the first part, he carves a design of his choice, melts silver in, and tightly covers it with the second part of the mold. Once the silver is hard, the mold eventually breaks, making this piece a unique item.
