Large Navajo old-style patina pendant w/No. 8 Mine turquoise by the late Gilbert Tom (pictured bead chain optional at additional cost). #2356

This is an elusive item to snare. It's 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 the late-and-great master Navajo silversmith Gilbert Tom.  Since acquiring this pendant, prices have increased dramatically.  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 include both the pendant and the pictured bead chain in your order.  Complimentary USPS tracked Priority shipping within the U.S.
