SALE FOR PENDANT ONLY-NAVAJO PEARL/BENCH BEAD NECKLACE IN PHOTO 3 IS NOT INCLUDED!
THE ARTIST:
Designed with a traditional,but yet contemporary look, this 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:
Showing all the beauty that this Nevada mine produces, Linda featured in this pendant, some beautiful cuts of natural Carico Lake turquoise that are then laid in a precise cluster circular setting..The smaller oval cuts act as double halo for the high grade square cut of Carico that sits in the center & are accented by sterling beads that sit between each stone. The overall color are dominated by what I would consider to be a minty green color, along with some cuts having just enough of the darker greens to give contrast. The stones sit on a mirrored polished contemporary finished sterling.
**************************
THE BALE:
Made with a large sized 17.5 mm tapered smooth bale,this big opening will accommodate up to a 17 mm large size 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".

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING
I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try my hardest to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color,just so you're not shocked, nor disappointed when you get the piece. But please realize that all monitors are different, so the materials can look brighter (or duller) from one computer to the next.
To give you close up photos,pictures tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified than in actuality. Close up's make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are shocked since the item is much smaller than how they looked in the photos..So to get an accurate idea of how big this is, you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements
