Dead-pawn Sterling Navajo pendant with Royston, Nevada turquoise. #1283

This is part of a box of jewelry that was acquired out of a trading post pawn vault 8 or 10 years ago.  Kinda glad that box just now surfaced.  These pieces would have been long gone otherwise.  This pendant has a fine piece of turquoise with lots of copper matrix.  It's a little on the large size for some; just right for our tastes.  Not counting the bale, the pendant itself is 2 and 1/8th's-inches long, and 1.5-inches across at the widest point.  It is not a lightweight touristy pendant.  This jewel weighs 35.8-grams, or 1.26-ounces.  It comes with an 18-inch, solid Sterling silver box chain, NOT the Navajo pearls that can barely be seen in the pic.  Those 6mm, 20-inch burnished beads in the pic will add an additional $125 if substituted for the box chain and bought at the same time as the pendant.  Hallmarked "LN."  Always complimentary shipping within the U.S.
