A distinctive Golden Hills turquoise pendant crafted in sterling silver by Navajo artist Ned Nez. The oval cabochon displays the soft blue color and expressive tan-brown matrix for which Golden Hills turquoise is treasured.
Dimensional silver blossoms surround the stone, creating a richly textured floral frame. Darkened recesses add contrast and bring out the individual petals, while the decorated bail completes the pendant with traditional stamped detail. Compact yet visually striking, this one-of-a-kind piece is equally suited to everyday wear or a curated Southwestern jewelry collection.
