Rare Artie Yellowhorse Native American Navajo Natural Gaspeite Sterling Necklace
RARE ARTIE YELLOWHORSE NATIVE AMERICAN NAVAJO NATURAL GASPEITE STERLING SILVER NECKLACE. This listing is for the pendant necklace only (ring not included). Comes with certificate of authenticity. This is a high-quality, very substantial, and well-made piece of designer jewelry. The large stone at center is natural, bright green gaspeite (mined in Quebec, Canada). Solid sterling silver, highly polished with oxidized detail. The pendant portion of the necklace measures 2-1/8″L x 1-5/8″W. The cable collar portion is 1/4 thick. The necklace length is adjustable, and can be worn anywhere from 14″L to 17.5″L. Oversized lobster claw clasp for ease of use. Crafted by lauded Navajo silversmith Artie Yellowhorse. Signed and stamped “Sterling”. Native American handmade in. Will arrive in original velvet necklace envelope and box. This is an exceedingly RARE piece from Artie… First, because it is done in her heavy cable collar and silver “raindrops” design (a part of her higher-end collection)… Second, because she used a large, highly scarce, natural, bright green piece of gaspeite as the focal point. Gaspeite of this quality is virtually non-existent on the market today. A lot of what you’re seeing is boulder material with muddying brown tones and drab pea soup greens. The great majority of it is also stabilized or composite material. This stone is all natural, and a vibrant apple green. I cannot say enough about how rare it is, and have been told by Artie’s daughters that, at present, they are completely out of this material. If you collect Artie’s jewelry as I do, then you know her pieces are NEVER discounted at retail, as she sets each and every price herself through the galleries she works with. Get it while it lasts, ladies, because I’m not sure you’ll ever see another like it from Artie. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have.
