THE ARTIST:
Designed with a traditional,but yet contemporary look, this multi colored cluster pendant is made by the hands of well known Navajo artist, "Linda Yazzie. Linda is a New Mexico resident who has been designing jewelry now for 35+ years & what you'll find in her work is for her excellent eye for form & balance & her precise workmanship.Personally, you can never go wrong with anything Linda makes & I have NEVER witnessed anything that she's made with anything less than with her close attention to detail skills, as well as using the best quality stones available to the market!
*************************
THE PENDANT:
This colorful pendant couldn't have been designed more beautifully! Using only the best quality materials on the the market, Linda instinctively knew what color stones to use & where to place them in order to get maximum "Pop" to the pendant.
The pendant is made up of some magnificent cuts of natural (Not treated!) DRY CREEK turquoise that has that signature pastel blue color that Dry Creek is known for & because of their light color placed along side the darker tones, really lets you experience the beautiful coloring of all the other stones! The premium quality LAPIS has almost a 'midnight blue' coloring & has a deep, dark navy coloring. In the middle of both the top & bottom cluster,she used a deep lavender colored SUGILITE & finally the red/orange Spiny Oyster. The stones sit on a mirrored polished contemporary finished sterling.
**************************
THE BALE:
Made with a large sized 19 mm tapered bale,this big opening will accommodate a 18 mm large bead or smaller. You want the pendant to “move & breathe” on the strand(s),so you never want to use the same size bead as the opening because of this. This size of pendant looks great with no more than a 20-22".
Made having a signature southwestern edge that will compliment a contemporary or traditional collection! You can pull from any of the colors in this to coordinate with your wardrobe & or other pieces of jewelry!!

*****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color,just so you're not shocked, nor disappointed when you get the piece. I find photographing anything with 'yellow' in it, (orange, green) can come up a little more vivid,so please take this into consideration. **I photographed this in front of 2 different colored backdrops,so please go through all photos to see ANY variation.
