Navajo Eugene Belone Purple Spiny Oyster Sterling Silver Heart Pendant Signed

Up for your consideration is a stunning, handcrafted Native American sterling silver heart pendant made by the highly respected Navajo (Diné) silversmith, Eugene Belone.

This beautiful collector's piece features a high-grade, heart-shaped purple spiny oyster shell cabochon with exquisite, natural banded striations. The stone is securely set in a smooth bezel, beautifully framed by a traditional twisted rope border and a classic stamped sterling silver frame.

Measures 2 1/8" by 1 5/8". Bale fits up to 6.5mm chain or beads. 

(In the 3rd photo it shows the side of the shell with black, this is not a chip, it is flush. I ran my finger across and it is smooth)
