Huge natural turquoise nugget pendant on a large sterling silver Navajo made bail. These two pieces seem to be a marriage and were probably not originally made to go together, but their equally epic chunkyness make them a distinctive pair.
Condition: Some natural patina on the bail, wire, and bottom bead. The turquoise stone has greened with age. Personal preferences vary greatly for the amount of patina on vintage jewelry, therefore I tend to sell jewelry "as found" and leave polishing up to the new owner.
Size: 3" long including the bail, stone is just under 1 1/2" wide, weighs 66.3g.
Hallmark: Sterling (inside the bail)
Era: 1970's
