Product Description
This beautiful sterling silver pendant contains turquoise, lapis lazuli, mother of pearl, abalone shell and jet, all inlaid in a sterling silver pendant formed in the shape of the Zuni Sun God. The hallmark is “RR” and “STERLING”, stamped on the back. This pendant comes complete with a 20″ silverplated Cobra chain which can be easily upgraded for a few extra dollars, just ask us about it. Some Native American jewelry is unsigned (no hallmark); because of this, we are not absolutely certain of this pendant’s origin. If this is a signed piece with a hallmark, we are unsure of the artist’s full name and tribe.
