14kt gold Small pendant-Kingman "waterweb" turquoise

Handcrafted 14kt gold pendant by Navajo artist Rick Tolino. This small oval pendant features a oval turquosie stone from the Kingman mine in Arizona. The beautiful lite & dark blue green webbing of color give the stone a look of water thus the term " waterweb" came to discribe this type of Kingman turquoise. The unique mounting has saw cut details that frame the stone perfectly. The bail is large enough to accommodate up to a 2mm chain. This is a fine example of a Navajo pendant in 14kt gold. 

Mounting measurement: 3/4" x 1/2"

Stone measurement: 1/2" x 3/8"
