Large No. 8 Mine turquoise Navajo old-style patina pendant by Gilbert Tom (pictured bead chain optional). #2356

This has become an elusive item to snare. The combination of a big, beautiful No. 8 mine turquoise stone; surrounded by superbly-crafted and intricately hand-stamped old-style patina silverwork done by master Navajo silversmith Gilbert Tom—all at a reasonable price—has gotten rare indeed.  Since acquiring this pendant, prices have increased and getting pieces from Gilbert has gotten difficult.  Not counting the bale, it is 2 and 5/8th's-inches long.  It is 1 and 7/8th's-inches across at the widest point.  Weight is 38.3-grams, or 1.35-ounces.  Hallmarked "Gilbert Tom" in cursive on the solid-Sterling back plate.  It ships without a chain, but the pictured 8mm, 20-inch burnished Sterling "Navajo pearl" bead chain is optional at an additional $150 if bought at the same time as the pendant.  Call or text prior to purchase and we can change the above price to $549 to include both the pendant and the pictured bead chain in your order.  Complimentary USPS tracked Priority shipping within the U.S.
