Chaco Canyon Trading based in NM (established for over 100 years) is renowned for selling quality sterling silver jewelry made by Native Americans. Each piece they sell is hand crafted using only quality gemstones and 925 sterling silver. Each piece will be stamped by the Native American artist. This beautiful genuine turquoise cross pendant is signed R.B. (Running Bear) encircled by the shape of a bear. The cross is a full 2-1/4 inches in length by 1-1/4 inches wide. There are six turquoise cabochon gemstones, five 10mm x 5mm teardrop-shaped and one 8mm x 5mm oval, each about 1 carat each. (This is an estimate since the stones are bezel set and depth can't be determined.) The center oval stone is surrounded by a decorative sterling rope and beads. The pendant has a large tapered bail that can accommodate a larger chain if you choose to switch it out. The chain that will arrive with the pendant is a quality, Italian-made heavy cable chain that has a 2-inch extender, allowing for adjustment from 18-20 inches. The pendant and chain has a decent amount of weight - weighing 9.8 grams on the scale. The pendant will come nicely gift-boxed in a purple velveteen box, ready to give to someone special--a beautiful way to show one's faith.
