Navajo Sterling Silver and Carico Lake Turquoise Necklace and Earrings Set by Jonathan Nez, Navajo-Diné

This stunning Navajo necklace and earrings set, handmade by acclaimed Navajo silversmith Jonathan Nez, showcases his signature blend of traditional Southwestern craftsmanship with a clean, contemporary flair. This piece is a modern take on classic Navajo pendant styles that evoke elements of squash blossom aesthetics with its inverted teardrop-shaped pendants, bezel-set with a round Carico Lake turquoise cabochon at its base. These vibrant blue-green stones are characteristic of this prized Nevada mine, known for their bright, lively hues (often apple-green to sky-blue tones) and subtle natural variations that adds a fresh, energetic pop with its distinctive color. The earrings perfectly echo the pendants’ natural beauty of the turquoise against Nez’s polished and precise, masterful sterling silver work.
