Native American Navajo Made Necklace with Kingman Turquoise by Everett and Mary Teller

This unique necklace with an ingot of silver is set with a natural Kingman turquoise stone, hanging a handcrafted chain. The pendant is 2 inches wide and .5 inches tall and was created by Everett and Mary Teller. This is a contemporary and yet classic Navajo piece of jewelry. When the Navajo first started with metals (copper and then silver) they would make irregular shapes and hang them on cords on their neck. These metal pieces would be used for trade purposes. The chains are 8 inches long. Necklace has a custom hook and eye for closure.
