Geraldine James, Necklace, Sonoran Turquoise, Sterling Silver, Navajo, 26"
Description
This Navajo handmade necklace by Geraldine James showcases the vibrant beauty of Sonoran Turquoise. The centerpiece is a large oval cabochon with striking blue-green tones and rich brown matrix, framed by an array of teardrop-shaped turquoise stones. Each stone is bezel-set in sterling silver, creating a radiant cluster design that draws the eye to the pendant. The sterling silver chain adds balance and strength while allowing the pendant to remain the focal point. The variation in turquoise colors highlights the natural uniqueness of Sonoran stones, celebrated for their bold character and depth. Intricate silverwork details, including twisted wire framing, enhance the artistry of the design. Both elegant and bold, this necklace embodies the craftsmanship and cultural heritage of Navajo jewelry-making.
