Navajo Artisan - Linda Yazzie - Polychromatic Blue / Green Sonoran Turquoise - Premium Orange Spiny Oyster Halo - Small Sterling Cluster Pendant-2"
THE PENDANT:
This pendant is precisely designed with materials that speak volume when it comes to their pristine quality.. Picked for it's polychromatic color, is a trillion cut of Sonoran turquoise, where it was pretty obvious that it was cut to show off all the wonderful signature colors known to this particular turquoise mine. And if you let your imagination go, this cut looks like a field of grass with a bright blue sky in the distance!
On the same sterling platform, lays a cluster of very evenly matched, small tear drop shaped cuts of orange Spiny Oyster that follow the trillion shape center & act as a halo for the turquoise.. Pairing these 2 colors side by side, has to be one of THE best color combos that are very compatible & do nothing but enhance the other! !! The orange is very lively & vibrant & is true to color when we think of a "true orange" color.
**************************
THE BALE:
Made with a smooth sterling tapered bale that is in balance with the size of the pendant, with the bale having a 8 mm opening.. You can add this to a regular sterling chain or a strand of sterling beads. If you go the route of using a sterling beaded necklace, I do want to mention that you don't want to go any larger than say a 7 mm (or smaller) since you want the pendant to “move & breathe” on the strand...This size of pendant looks great with a shorter length necklace in the 16" to no more than a 20-22".
Made having a signature southwestern edge that will compliment a contemporary or traditional collection! Would make a great gift for those who love their Native jewelry on the understated side in size.

Please Note:
*****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. **Please go through all photos to see ANY variation.
In order to show all the fine detail, close up photos 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, are,please pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements
