Set in a plain high bezel with no beading, so nothing interrupts the colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAround it the silver does all the work: four concentric rings of stamping, each a different pattern, stepping outward and downward to a scalloped edge. The recesses are oxidised almost black, which throws the raised surfaces forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe smallest of the stamped pendants in this group at 40 grams, and the easiest to wear daily.\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.
