About the Item

Silver and turquoise pendant by Sammie Kescoli Begay. The pendant has a unique pattern in overlay silver and a large Royston turquoise cabochon. The heavy gauge sterling silver pendant is on hand rolled turquoise beads and handmade silver beads measuring 22”. The pendant is 3 .5” x 1.5”. Royston is known for its beautiful colors ranging from deep green to rich, light blues with a brown matrix. While Royston is considered an active mine; it is a very small operation. Royston is a district in Nevada consisting of three turquoise mines: Bunker Hill, Oscar Wehrend, and the main producer, high quality Royal Blue. The mine in Nevada is still producing high quality turquoise but in limited amounts. Sammie Kescoli Begay produces some of the most beautiful traditional and deeply stamped sterling silver jewelry to be found in Indian Country. Using heavy gauge ingot silver combined quality gem grade turquoise, his pieces are unique in both quality and style. Sammie is primarily a minister to his growing congregation on the Navajo reservation. He approaches each piece he creates with the eye of a true perfectionist. Sammie was one of the early silversmiths for Shades of the West in Scottsdale, Arizona. #J492 @ G
