Simple treatment, because the crescent below is where the work is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat crescent is wider than most and carries six raised silver domes spaced along its face, with bands of stamped lines at the crown between them and a round ball at each tip. The domes catch light from every angle, so the bottom of the piece stays alive when the stone is in shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe proportions here are unusually balanced, stone and crescent carrying about equal weight.\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.
