Navajo Signed Vintage 3-Stone Turquoise and Sterling Silver Pendant

Description Adorned with a trio of vibrant turquoise cabochons, this vintage Diné (Navajo) sterling silver pendant is a beautiful example of the “row” style that has defined Southwestern jewelry for generations. Each stone is meticulously matched for its brilliant sky-blue color and secured in a traditional sawtooth bezel. The silverwork features a rhythmic arrangement of hand-wrought details, including a classic twisted wire rope border and polished silver “raindrops.” This listing is for the pendant only; its sturdy, polished bail is designed to drape perfectly from a silver chain or a strand of Navajo pearls. While the specific artisan behind this signed piece remains unidentified, the craftsmanship speaks to a mid-to-late 20th-century maker with a deep command of traditional fabrication. The “row” design—the vertical alignment of stones—is a time-honored Navajo motif used to symbolize the continuous flow of the natural world and the harmony of the “three stages of life.” In Diné culture, turquoise is revered as the “Sky Stone,” a source of protection and good fortune. For the collector who prioritizes technical precision and authentic vintage character, this signed pendant is a versatile piece that carries the unmistakable spirit of the High Desert.
