Norman Woody Navajo Silver Horse Pendant on 18 Sterling Silver Chain
This sterling silver horse pendant has been beautifully crafted by Navajo silversmith Norman Woody. It measures 1 3/8″ across and 1 3/4″ tall including the sterling bale loop. The sterling silver chain is 18 long. The necklace weighs 14.10 grams. This pendant necklace is in excellent condition. Most of these pawn shops and trading posts are now closed. The Native American would pawn his jewelry for immediate cash. The shop would hold it and charge interest until he could reclaim it. Dead pawn are the pieces that were never retrieved. Old Pawn Jewelry typically dates from the early 1900s to the 1970s. Most of the early pieces are not signed because it wasn’t the Native American tradition to sign the pieces they crafted. Also, the turquoise in old pawn is turquoise that you can’t get anymore because many of the mines have closed. And, the red and orange coral is rare because of the coral bleaching which is happening today. We guarantee all of our Native American Indian items to be AUTHENTIC American Indian traditional arts.
