A commanding statement piece — a massive oval sterling silver pendant by Navajo silversmith Gibson Nez, set with a dramatic elongated turquoise cabochon and strung on a handmade Navajo pearl strand of torpedo, barrel, and disc beads.

The pendant is built around a long, narrow oval turquoise cabochon — vivid sky blue with rich brown matrix — held in a serrated rim setting at the center of a deeply worked oval silver disc. The outer border of the pendant is covered in dense, radiating file-work lines that give the piece its characteristic sunburst presence. The reverse is stamped with the artist's hallmark GZN.

The pendant hangs from a handmade Navajo pearl strand combining torpedo beads, barrel beads, and disc beads — each hand-formed from sterling silver with a warm oxidized patina. The necklace closes with a handmade toggle clasp.
