This terrific Necklace showcases an Inlaid Gemstone and Sterling Silver Pendant by Navajo artist Ray Jack. Jack is known for his meticulous inlay work and this Pendant is no exception. The teardrop-shaped piece includes Onyx, blue & green Turquoise and Coral inlay and the pieces are shaped and set with a high degree of precision. The stones are set in raised Sterling Silver Bezel and wrapped by twisted Sterling Silver Wire. These elements sit on Sterling Silver Plate that has been gracefully notched and ornamented with 6 Sterling Silver Balls. The Pendant drapes from a custom Sterling Silver Bail that is adorned with a teardrop-shaped Turquoise Stone. The Pendant is stamped on the back with the artist's hallmark and "Sterling." Truly a work of art.
We've paired Ray Jack's Pendant with 5 strands of 4.5mm Blue Apatite Rounds. The Rounds are semi-opaque, allowing light to pass through the stone and intensifying the attractive sky blue color. The Apatite is matched with green Turquoise stones — including 9mm Stick and 6mm Rondelles — along with 4mm light green Fire Polished Glass Ovals. The Glass adds translucency and sparkle. The Stones are highlighted by 7mm Sterling Silver Feather-Print Rondelle Beads and 6mm Oxidized Sterling Rounds, adding shine. The Necklace is finished with Sterling Silver Cones and Toggle Clasp and adorned with a Southwest Designs Sterling Charm. The piece weighs 98 grams and is 19-3/4 inches long plus the Pendant, which is 3-3/4 inches by 1-3/4 inches including the 1/2-inch Bail (when wearing, a vertical length of about 9-1/2 inches).
