Self-taught Zuni artist Dillon Cheama is making quite a splash in the world of Indigenous jewelry with his distinctive, specially-detailed chains. His latest pendant necklace is beautifully handmade from sterling silver with intricate petit point bezels housing Kingman turquoise cabochons, surrounded by tiny twisted silver borders and flower patterns. The Kingman turquoise mine in Arizona is the last remaining commercially producing mine in the United States. Archaeological evidence revealed turquoise was originally mined by Indigenous cultures. The handmade pendant necklace features a stunning custom chain with double jump rings that allow for a wonderful sinuous movement. The chain has a width of approximately 5/8". The necklace is about 26 1/4" long, while the center station is approximately 2 7/8" long and 1 1/8" wide. The complimenting side stations measure roughly 1 1/4" long and 1 1/8" wide. A lobster clasp closure is a lovely finishing touch. Signed by the artist.
