Traditional-design Navajo turquoise pendant by Robert Shakey, with chain. SOLD! #1901

SOLD!  From our first foray out West in 1976 acquiring (or should we say 'curating'—no, we are NOT gonna contribute to the overuse/abuse of that word!) Native American jewelry for our then brick-and-mortar shop, we encountered this quintessential design— both it and Kokopelli's.  We've kinda gotten away from both, but will buy either still if it suits our fancy.  This delightful piece does, indeed, delight our fancy.  It's simple yet elegant, and it has a helluva attractive turquoise stone.  And no, it's not Royston.  According to the maker, it is Kingman, Arizona turquoise.  That large mine has many veins with a myriad of hues.  Not counting the bale, it is 1 and 7/8th's-inches tall.  It is 1.5-inches across at the widest point.  Weight of the pendant is 19.5-grams, or .685-ounces.  Hallmarked "ROBERT SHAKEY" in all caps.  It ships with an 18-inch, solid Sterling silver box chain.  Free USPS Priority box shipping within the U.S.
