NDN Silver Showpieces: Coral and Silver and the Turquoise Mountain


A hand-made heart:  a translucent blue-green Royston turquoise cabochon with a warm golden-colored matrix is nestled in a scalloped sterling silver bezel and trimmed with twisted silver.  Offset atop the heart, a tiny bezel-set cab of old natural coral.  Hand-stamped symbolism accents the hand-made bail, and the pendant hangs from a long strand of hand-strung traditional-style old sterling silver beads.

And the back view: 


Powerfully integrated symbolism surrounds a hand-stamped central heart:  thunderheads matched together form kiva spaces, joined into a pattern representing the Four Sacred Directions, while directional arrows at the ordinal points trace a counterclockwise path.  $575 + $15 s/h/i.

So new, it's not even on the Web site yet.
