Stunning blue Kingman Turquoise is the center piece of this pendant. Handcrafted by Navajo artist Murphy Platero. Set in solid sterling silver.

Chasing, chased work, or embossing refer to a similar technique, in which the piece is hammered on the front side, sinking the metal.Measuring 3" in total length with a large bail that can accommodate up to a 10mm chain or beads
