Jess Johnson's stunning sterling silver petit point pendant is a piece of Zuni history you can wear that connects you with generations of traditional jewelry making. Truly a statement piece, Jess' mastery of lapidary and silversmithing skills unite in the collectible pendant's rich Sleeping Beauty turquoise and rare Red Skin turquoise petit point presentation. Each bezel is painstakingly hand-cut to hold the rich snake-eye shaped stones.
Red Skin turquoise originates in China. Mining at the location where it was discovered is no longer possible due to flooding and an eventual closure in 2010. It is beloved for an iron-rich content and blue color, considered precious because any remaining Red Skin turquoise on the market is considered legacy inventory.
Including the beautiful bale, dimensions of this multi-tiered pendant with lovely movement are approximately 5 5/8" long, 2 3/8" wide and 1/4" deep. Signed by the artist including a stamped raincloud element. If you desire to learn about wonderful Zuni jewelry, please click here.
