Chimney Butte' Kingman turquoise pendant. #1829

Chimney Butte is a big gregarious guy and an expert jewelry maker.  He's a man of high spirituality and imposing stature.  Though half-Comanche, Chimney Butte learned his chops apprenticing under the legendary Navajo artisan Tommy Singer, RIP.  He now makes custom jewelry for movie stars, such as Billy Bob Thornton ("Landman"); Brooker Shields and others.   He was making jewelry out of a small stand on the plaza in Santa Fe when he and was discovered by the members of the Hollywood set.  We are able to squeeze a few pieces from him here and there, like the pendant above.  It's a little large and showy at 2 and 3/8th's-inches long (not counting the bale).  The bale itself has an inside diameter of 9/16th's-inches, so it will easily accommodate half-inch beads or 'pearls.'  The large turquoise stone is from the Kingman, Arizona mine.  Weight is 38-grams, or 1.35-ounces.  Hallmarked "Chimney Butte" in cursive.  The price is for the pendant alone, without a chain.  We have 5mm and 8mm Navajo 'pearls' that can be added at additional cost.  The pictured 5mm, 24-inch burnished Sterling Navajo 'pearl' bead chain can be added for an additional $111 when bought with the pendant (for a total of $350 for the pendant and pearls).  Call or text prior to purchase and we can change the price above to reflect the additional 'pearls.'  Complimentary USPS Priority shipping within the U.S.
