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.
