Kobe Martinez, Pendant, Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, Navajo, 2 3/4"

This striking pendant by Navajo silversmith Kobe Martinez features a contemporary interpretation of traditional Native design. Crafted from sterling silver, the piece takes the elegant form of a howling coyote; a powerful symbol of loyalty, transformation, and survival in Navajo culture. At its center rests a single cabochon of vivid Sleeping Beauty turquoise, prized for its pure sky-blue color and flawless clarity. Delicate stamp work and textured silver detailing bring depth and movement to the design, enhancing the pendant’s sculptural quality. The hand-stamped bale complements the artistry below, adding balance and refinement. Martinez’s work beautifully blends storytelling and silversmith mastery, resulting in a piece that honors both tradition and individuality.
