Kingman turquoise Naja w/chain by Navajo artisan Robert Shakey. #2376a

Isn't this alluring?  Not counting any part of the 3/8th's-inch inside diameter bale, this colorful Naja is 1.5-inches long. Likewise, it is 1.5-inches across the middle.  Weight of the Naja itself is 16-grams, or .56-ounces.  It's said that the Navajo emulated a saddlery design worn on the breast of the Spanish Conquistadors' horses.  By no means is it a 'horseshoe.'  Navajo makers have expressed to me that the semi-circular shape of the Naja form a perimeter shield keeping negative, or evil, away—whilst the opening at the bottom allows goodness to enter into one's center core.  This attractive Naja by Robert Shakey ships with a solid-Sterling, 18-inch box chain.  Complimentary USPS tracked Priority shipping within the U.S.
