NATIVE AMERICAN PENDANT NECKLACE. STERLING SILVER, TURQUOISE, SPINY OYSTER. It could be just a simple cluster pendant. It is a little less and much more than that! It a very pure essential cluster pendant… Totally extravagant with its oversized turquoise. It has been created by the very talented CHAVEZ family. They have been making jewelry for generations and generations. GLORIA CHAVEZ, the matriarchal figure of the family, has been maintaining the high quality of work all throughout the years. Her sons, with Gloria’s eagles eyes, make incredible jewelry, traditional pieces with a unique creative style. Their jewelry is INIMITABLE. Who, today, could have a turquoise so big, so thick, with so much presence? Who would not stop at placing the bezel around… And have the boldness of adding even more turquoise? Who would not stop at the turquoise, but would even go after the luminous violet, yellow and orange spiny oyster? This is just to show you what the Chavez can do.. What is not in their power is the story captured by this amazing stone. The turquoise, over 0.5 high, has a lot of strength ready to burst. The green turquoise is substantial, seems to be empowered… The matrix is like, the threatening and magical, heavy clouds forming, and coming so fast in summer… There is this dark side, this danger, but this reward of abundance, of land turning green… And then as fast as the storm comes and goes New Mexico is known for having the most gorgeous sunset during monsoon season in summer… The spiny oyster were maybe made to represent this fire of colors..
