Jon McCray' Navajo pendant with No. 8 Mine turquoise. Chain included. #2385

Navajo artisan Jon McCray makes Tonka-truck-like jewelry.  Heavy duty.  Take a look at the second pic above.  The Sterling backing plate on this pendant is almost an eight-inch thick!  Nice, very nice.  McCray's not shabby about picking-out his stones, either.  This is a luscious-looking piece of turquoise.  The Sterling patina he employs here is a lightly-rubbed old-style.  'Sort of satiny.  If this piece was made as a bolo tie rather than a pendant, the Drifter would be wearing it right now.  H,mmm.  Not counting the bale it is 1 and 7/16th's-inches long, and it is a hair over 1.25-inches wide.  Weight of this pendant is 21.4-grams, or .75-ounces.  And, it ships with an 18-inch, solid Sterling box chain.  Hallmarked with an artsy "JM" stamp, as well as the name "JON McCRAY" in very tiny size font.  Complimentary USPS tracked Priority shipping within the U.S.
