Navajo Wild Horse and sterling silver dangle pendant. Natural, untreated stones set in sterling silver. Stamped sterling and maker marked by Navajo Silversmith Avin Joe.
Wild Horse gets its name from its reddish-brown to chocolate-brown matrix with creamy, ivory, or tan magnesite veins, resembling the coat patterns of pinto horses that roam the American Southwest. The stones are a distinctive variety of magnesite found in Arizona and the surrounding areas. They are mined in the same turquoise country as high end turquoise stones and have become a valued alternative in Southwestern jewelry.
Avin Joe was born on the Navajo Reservation, where he spent most of his life. His great uncle Kenneth Begay, taught Avin's father Phillip Joe to silversmith. Avin learned the basics through observation. During the next several years, Avin worked with various metals exclusively in silver, perfecting his skills, to become a master silversmith, building top quality pieces featured in the finest galleries, museums and collections around the world. Avin believes his feelings, traditions, culture and beliefs go into each piece. 2"L, 14.23 grams
