One of a Kind Piece

Double-sided Navajo bear pendant in turquoise cobble inlay and sterling silver.
 

This pendant is representative of two Native American jewelry techniques:
 

- A cobble inlay made from Turquoise Mountain (Arizona) turquoise:
The turquoise is hand-cut and polished by hand to create a geometric composition. "Cobble" is the perfect name for this exceptional work of art, as elegant as it is massive, which although contemporary imitates the ancestral technique of mosaic.

- Casting: The artist takes a mold and divides it into two parts. One of these parts is hand-carved with a motif of his choice (here, Natives petropglyphs), into which he pours molten silver. The second part covers this pattern and is firmly attached to the first.

Dimensions including pendant ring (L x W): 3.4cm x 3cm
(1 inch 3/8 x 1 inch 1/8)

Proudly Navajo handmade in the USA.
