Applied silver balls of three different sizes fill the gaps. That is what cluster work is: the arrangement is worked out stone by stone at the bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colour here is deep and even, a strong blue with dark matrix flecking rather than heavy veining, and all six stones read as a set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bail is unusually wide and carries its own stamping in two bands, so it works as part of the design rather than a fitting. It will take a heavy chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKingman is one of the oldest and best known Arizona mines, still producing, known for clean bright blue with dark matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChimney Butte is a Navajo (Dine) silversmith working out of New Mexico in a deliberately old style idiom: heavy gauge sterling, deep hand stamping, repousse, sandcast work, and good named mine turquoise. The mark is one of the most recognisable in contemporary Southwestern silver, which is part of why the work holds its value. Every piece is stamped Chimney Butte and Sterling on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyling\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt hangs from a wide stamped bail that takes a heavy chain, so it will sit on Navajo pearls, a thick box chain, or a leather cord without looking under hung. Worn alone it does all the work; it does not need layering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcellent.
