Sterling Oval Tufa Cast Pendant Turquoise Inlay Coral Michael Perry Navajo

Here's an outstanding piece from award-winning and famous Navajo silversmith Michael Perry. On a tufa cast base, the artist overlaid an oval frame, as well as geometric patterns radiating from the center. Red coral triangular pieces are inlaid into the overlay patterns. A gorgeous oval turquoise stone is set in a castellated bezel. Although it'll be tough to see in the photos, the stone is polychrome, with lighter blues on the bottom grading to slightly darker blue towards the top. The bail is a larger size and is hand stamped.

The pendant is 1  7/16" wide and 1  15/16" tall. From the top of the bail to the bottom of the pendant is about 2  5/8".

The turquoise stone is 3/8" by 3/4".

The opening for the bail is 3/8", a good size to accommodate a larger chain or your favorite set of beads.

It weighs 26.5 g.

The artist's hallmark is "MP" indicating Navajo artisan Michael Perry, whose amazing work is carried by top retail galleries in Sedona, Scottsdale, and throughout New Mexico.
