This is a piece by JOHN NELSON, a master craftsman of Navajo Indian jewelry. It features JOHN NELSON's hallmark (stamp) and a "sterling" stamp. Navajo jewelry typically uses a "sterling" stamp instead of a "925" stamp. The stone is Hachita turquoise. The pendant measures 4.0cm in total length (including the bail) and 2.5cm in width, giving it a strong presence. Recommended for those who appreciate authenticity and are looking for a natural stone pendant in Indian jewelry. Please check the images and consider purchasing. This item has been stored since purchase without being used, so it is in excellent condition with no noticeable scratches. The chain is my own and is not included; this sale is for the pendant top only. Combined purchases with other chains I have listed are also welcome.
