Gorgeous, Large, Handcrafted and Signed Vintage Sterling Silver and Vivid Blue Turquoise Pendant, by Zuni Artists George & Lupeta Leekity, with carved stones, beading, and hand stamped details.
The pendant measures just under approximately 2 and 1/8 inches high, including the bale, by just over about 1 and 1/4 inches wide, and about 3/16 of an inch thick. The bale opening is just under about 1/8 of an inch, or approximately 3 millimeters, wide. (Included you'll see a US Quarter in the photographs, for the measurement-challenged and ruler-averse.) The pendant is signed, "G&L Leekity", on the back. Weight is approximately 11.5 grams, which includes the stone weight, of course.
This pendant is in excellent vintage condition, but will exhibit the expected surface scratches and possibly dings to the silver from normal wear. No chips or cracks to the turquoise. This is a handcrafted piece, and will not be machine-perfect in any way. Hand polished, but with an eye toward not removing too much patina.
A wonderful handcrafted and signed vintage Zuni Sterling silver and turquoise pendant. Lovely detail and dimension, with excellent color and contrast.
