A commanding example of traditional Navajo silversmithing, this large sterling silver Naja pendant by Jackson Hoskieshowcases the remarkable beauty of Carico Lake Turquoise. Set with an impressive collection of natural stones displaying shades of robin's egg blue, seafoam green, mint, and golden-brown matrix, this piece celebrates the distinctive color range that has made Carico Lake one of the most sought-after American turquoise varieties. The classic Naja design, a symbol long associated with protection, strength, and prosperity in Southwestern jewelry, is elevated by Hoskie's meticulous craftsmanship. Hand-stamped sterling silver details, traditional fan motifs, and carefully balanced stone placement create a pendant that feels both historic and timeless. Carico Lake Turquoise comes from Nevada and is prized for its extraordinary range of colors, often displaying beautiful transitions from vivid blue to soft green within a single piece. High-grade material from the mine has become increasingly difficult to obtain, making exceptional Carico Lake jewelry highly desirable among collectors of Native American wearable art. Bold enough to anchor a Navajo pearl strand and distinctive enough to stand alone, this one-of-a-kind statement pendant is more than jewelry—it's a celebration of Southwestern tradition, natural beauty, and masterful Navajo craftsmanship.
For those who don't collect jewelry—they collect art.
