Item #992M- XLG Vintage Navajo 5ct Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Stamped Sterling Silver Cross Pendant
Extra large Navajo five (5) stone Sleeping Beauty turquoise decorative stamped sandcast/lost wax sterling silver cross pendant. The silversmith has created the cross using what appears to be the “lost wax” process. Similar to sandcast in that molten silver is used. The artist has then mounted five (5) beautiful cut and polished Sleeping Beauty turquoise stones setting one in center and one on each of the arm tips. The stones are set into sawtooth bezels. The artist finishes by applying decorative stampwork between the stones and attaching a silver bale at top.
