Sand Cast Anchor Pendant

This pendant is a departure from Roy’s usual work, created using the traditional sand casting method and shaped into a bold, anchor-like form. The result is a piece with depth and substance, where the silver itself carries as much presence as the stone. Each pendant is crafted entirely by hand by Roy Huskie Jr., a master Navajo silversmith who began working at just fifteen years old. Raised in Tuba City on the Navajo Nation, Roy learned traditional silversmithing from his father and continues the artistry of his Todích'íí'nii (Bitter Water) clan. The turquoise in this piece is hand-cut by Roy from natural, gem-quality stone. Untreated and unstabilized, it retains its true color and character, set simply to let the stone speak for itself. The sand cast construction gives the pendant a solid, grounded feel, while the clean bezel setting keeps the focus centered. The back is stamped with “Sterling” and Roy’s hallmark, “RH.” ------------------------------------------------- A Roy Huskie Jr. Original Materials: Sterling Silver & Natural Turquoise Chain Length: 24 inches (60.96 cm) Pendant Measurements: Length (including bail): 56 mm Width (at widest point): 22 mm Bail opening: 6 mm Pendant measurements are taken at the longest and widest points.
