This is an incredible vintage estate Navajo multi-stone inlay pendant necklace by Frank Yellowhorse. It is signed on the back of the pendant. This necklace is filled with gorgeously bright colored stones. These stones include light blue turquoise, dark blue lapis lazuli, apple green turquoise, orange spiny oyster, purple sugalite, black onyx & green malachite. There are some other stones I’m not sure of. They look like dyed mother of pearl, but I can be wrong on that. The sterling chain necklace measures 19″ long with a secure spring ring clasp. The pendant hangs 2 5/8″ long from the top of the bale. The smaller oval is 9/16″ wide. The larger oval is 5/8″ wide. Total weight of the necklace is 11.8 dwt / 18.4 grams. There is an old original price and inventory number on the back of the pendant in permanent ink. It can be polished off.
This jewelry is not pre-owned, which also means that it is not used. It is new, but may look pre-owned because of the natural toning/patina it has taken on in storage in the last 16 years. It is normal for silver to take on a color after being exposed to the air for some time. Rather than take all the time to polish it up, since we have so much, we are just leaving it as untouched nostalgia. The buyer can decide if they would like to polish it up. Some of it actually has the old black magic marker pricing written on the underside still.
We bought a large collection of beautiful Native American jewelry from a client who’s family had owned a retail shop for Native American made goods. Both our client & his family shared such a love for this stuff! It had spent 16 years in storage before we acquired the entire collection. So, there’s the story about this fabulous collection. We hope you enjoy looking at the many pieces of it. It truly is amazing!
