This is a beautiful sterling silver cross pendant 1-1/2" and hangs from an 18" sterling silver chain. The pendant is very detailed in design and features 6 turquoise cabochons with a single coral cabochon in the center. Cross is signed on the back Sterling RB which I was told was R. Begay.
The Indians of Southwest America learned silversmithing from the Mexicans. Native American jewelry combines cultural, religious and the beauty of nature to produce some of the most beautiful silver jewelry in the world. Many tribes produced jewelry and each reflected their own personal culture. Choctaw, Seneca and Iroquois were among the earliest artists and were joined by the Navajo, Hopi and Zuni in the 20th century. One of the best resouces I have found is "Silver Jewelry Identification and Value Guide" by Fred Rezazadeh. Always buy Native American jewelry from a reputable dealer .
