Sterling Silver & Thunder Mountain Turquoise Necklace by John Skeets
This necklace commands attention. At 93 grams, it's a substantial, heirloom-quality piece handcrafted by Navajo silversmith John Skeets — and the stonework alone makes it unforgettable.
The centerpiece is a breathtaking Thunder Mountain turquoise stone— robin's egg blue with rich brown matrix — set in a beautifully detailed sterling silver bezel. The bezel features stamped and scalloped edges with fine rope trim, finished with three decorative silver spots on the top and three on the bottom. Every element is intentional, every detail handworked.
The pendant hangs from an 18½" machine-made 6mm Navajo pearl strand, giving it a bold, balanced presence on the neck.
