Chimney Butte Sterling Silver Cross Pendant – 3.5” Handcrafted & Signed Navajo Jewelry – Southwestern Statement Pendant
$269.00
This striking sterling silver cross pendant is a signed creation by master Navajo silversmith Chimney Butte, known for blending traditional Native American silversmithing techniques with bold Southwestern design.
Handcrafted Technique:
This pendant is made using hand-forged silversmithing, where sterling silver is heated, hammered, and shaped entirely by hand. The decorative flourishes—such as the scalloped ends, starburst stamp patterns, and raised dome center—are achieved through stamp work and repoussé. Stamp work uses custom-made steel stamps to press intricate designs into the silver, while repoussé is a technique of shaping the metal from the reverse side to add dimension. These traditional Navajo methods result in a pendant with exceptional texture, depth, and artistry.
