Navajo Ray Adakai Sterling Silver Concho Pendant, Optional Navajo Pearls Chain
$365.00
I love the traditional repousse silverwork of this rectangle-shaped concho pendant, the edges scalloped and the rays bordered with fine stipples. The pendant was made by Navajo artist Ray Adakai, who hails from a family of renowned silversmiths. His father was Jack Adakai, who took up jewelry-making after serving in WWII. The younger Adakai learned how to make jewelry from his father, and his methods are "old school"; this pendant is a great example of traditional, revival silverwork. It is also what I consider to be a Southwestern jewelry staple--it goes with just about everything. And I don't just mean in terms of a chain. This pendant can be worn long, short, layered, alone. It can add Santa Fe chic to a black cocktail dress just as easily as it can add rodeo flair to a denim blouse. The piece is medium-large in size. The circa 1980s Navajo Pearls are sold separately and can be purchased, if available, by selecting them via the drop-down menu. I love how they amplify the patina of the raised areas of the pendant.
The pendant measures about 1-7/8" wide by 2" tall not including the bale and closer to 2-5/8" all inclusive. The bale measures about 1/2" wide by slightly taller. Weighs 21g. The Navajo Pearls necklace is approximately 23" long with beads about 5-6mm in diameter and weighs 39g.
Essential Southwest!

Do you do layaways?
We can work with you on a payment plan with immediate down payment up to two months for full payment.
Note that layaways past due over 30 days go into default. Once in default the transaction is cancelled and layaway payments are not returnable due to having removed items from the market and losing potential sales.
