Vintage Navajo Native American Sterling Silver Morenci Turquoise Pin / Pendant
On offer is an authentic vintage NAVAJO hand wrought. 925 sterling silver pin/pendant adorned with a large beautiful southwestern sky blue hand cut and polished gem quality turquoise stone that is typical of the Morenci, Arizona mine region. This pin/pendant is not hallmarked which was quite common in the earlier Native American silver work prior to the 1970’s. We believe this piece was created circa 1960 or perhaps earlier. This stunning turquoise pin/pendant was skillfully crafted with attention to detail, and is in very good vintage condition (see ALL photos for an accurate detailed depiction). The pin back is in good working order. The hand cut and polished southwestern sky blue cabochon turquoise stone has the pyrite inclusions and black matrix that are characteristic of Morenci material. It is in very good condition with no chips or cracks and is firmly set in a plain silver bezel. Overall, this pin/pendant measures approx. 1 1/2″ long x 1 3/16″ at widest. The stone measures approx. 1 1/8″ long x 13/16″ at widest. The pin/pendant weighs 15.7 grams. 925 sterling silver and southwestern sky blue Morenci turquoise pin/pendant would make an outstanding addition to any Twentieth Century Native American Silver and Stone Jewelry, American Turquoise or Historic Cultural Arts and Crafts collection. We have been involved in the design and creation of contemporary jewelry at the undergraduate and postgraduate level since 1967. In 1975 we opened a gallery of hand wrought fine art contemporary jewels and have since handled thousands of unique, one of a kind and limited edition pieces crafted predominantly by American artisans with a special emphasis on Native American Art. Will be determined upon request. We believe our photos and description to be an accurate testament. Thus, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. However, mistakes do happen. Thanks for looking and good luck.

We have similar Turquoise and Native American items, which would pair nicely with this piece, for sale this week. Listing description by: Angela A. Markings : Unmarked, tested, and guaranteed. Main stone : Morenci turquoise. Length: 17.46 mm. Width : 9.85 mm. Color: opaque bright blue hue with a deep grey matrix. Accent stone measurements/color. Stone treatment : The stone(s) appear to be untreated, but we are not certified gemologists. Stone(s) have been tested and guaranteed using a professional Presidium Duo refractive, heat, and hardness tester. Stone cuts : Carved and polished cabochon. Handmade in the 1950s by a talented Native American silversmith. 900 sterling silver, also known as coin silver, a popular purity of silver at this time. Beautiful Morenci turquoise stone rests in a bezel setting. A ribbon twist design surrounds the stone. Split shoulders taper into the smooth, polished band for secure wear. Damage : Age appropriate wear. Tarnish on the sterling silver gives the piece an antique quality we believe is rather lovely. The price has been reduced to reflect this. This listing is for the item only. This beautiful piece was made by a very talented Native American silversmith. It features handcrafted silversmith work throughout. Antique Native American jewelry is very rare to find. This is due to these pieces being made for reservation and personal use before the tourist trade became popular. Very few pieces were made and even less survived to today. The Navajo Nation sits on 27,000 square miles within the states of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. The Navajo have a rich history and culture and have become known for creating some of the finest sterling silver and turquoise jewelry, incorporating their own traditional motifs with silversmithing. The squash blossom necklace is perhaps one the most famous Navajo styles produced, along with turquoise inlay rings. Turquoise is an important stone in Navajo culture; symbolizing happiness, good fortune, and good health. The first Navajo silversmith, Atsidi Sani, was taught around 1865 by a Mexican silversmith. Atsidi Sani, in turn, taught his four sons, who then started teaching other Navajo artisans. In the beginning, Navajo artisans created sterling silver jewelry for themselves and others in the Navajo Nation. The concept of Pawn, Old Pawn, and Dead Pawn Native American Jewelry came to be in the 1800s. When a loan wasn’t repaid, the item became known as either “Old Pawn” or Dead Pawn. Turquoise is found all over the world and has been a popular semi-precious stone used in jewelry and art for thousands of years by many different cultures; from prehistoric times to the present. Turquoise comes in many beautiful color variations; from the popular bright solid sky-blue hues to dark blue hues with dark spiderwebbing throughout, as well as aqua, teal, and many green varieties, and even some rare white with dark spiderwebbing. Known throughout the world for its gorgeous true-blue hues mixed with a silvery iron pyrite matrix; it also came with a rare golden pyrite matrix. Also found were aqua blue green turquoise stones with birdseye webbing, which are areas of color circled with matrix resembling a bird’s eye, and water webbing matrix. This mine has been closed for several years, making Morenci Turquoise rare and highly coveted by collectors. This item is in the category “Jewelry & Watches\Ethnic, Regional & Tribal\Rings”. The seller is “abeautifultimeco” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped worldwide.

Both mines are closed and both stones are highly sought after and collectable. The largest stone in this necklace is the main naja stone, about 1 1/8″ x 5/8″ bezel to bezel. The blossoms were distributed in graduated fashion, and they measure between 1 5/8″ to 1 1/4″. All stones are set in smooth bezels wrapped in thick twisted wire. This shiny necklace weighs a hefty 129.3 grams. The 1/4″ bead necklace is approximately 22 1/4″ long from hook to figure 8 connector, and the naja is 3″ tall by 2 3/4″ wide. Superb blue and black/gray stones and craftsmanship. Thank you for supporting authentic Native American art. All measurements are approximations. Please measure your wrist, decolletage, finger, and waist, or use an old bracelet, necklace, bolo tie, belt, and so on, to determine your size. All items in our store are preowned, and in vintage-used condition. Minor wear, light surface scratches, and other common conditions in used items should be expected. Please allow for some variation in color. We attempt to capture the actual color of the stones/shells to the best of our ability, but cameras, lighting, and monitors may not portray the exact color. When the color in the photos is significantly different from the original, we will add that information to “additional notes” at the bottom of the listing. Items have a fixed price, however, we will consider all reasonable offers. Our items are packed securely and under surveillance cameras for your peace of mind. Feedback will be left either after we receive a feedback, or upon request and after the 14 or 30-day return time-frame has passed. You are not required to leave us a feedback to receive one.
