Signed Joan Slifka Navajo-Style Sterling Coral, Bone Pendant Necklace -16”, 1997

About the Item

Navajo-style master jeweler Joan Slifka began creating dramatic jewelry in the 1960s but didn’t consider herself a “real” jeweler until the 1980s when she began her business. A departure from her oversized, chunky designs using crosses and hearts, this more delicate piece still incorporates her signature use of semi-precious stones set in sterling, and is perfect for everyday wear. It even includes an easy-to-fasten magnetic closure for easy fastening and unfastening. 16” pendant necklace consisting of two different kinds of sterling chain; 1 ¼” fixed round pendant featuring oval coral cabochon atop a larger round polished bone cabochon, both set in scalloped Navajo-style filigree setting. Magnetic rear closure. Stamped and signed. materials: sterling, coral, polished bone noteworthy: polish metal with silver cleaner, clean stones with soft cloth repairs: none condition: good-excellent with extremely faint scratches on reverse of pendant measurements: length: 16” pendant: 1 ¼” diameter signature: stamped “J Slifka Designs Sterling” and signed “Joan Slifka Designs Sterling ‘97”
