Astral Chieftain | Lab-Created Opal Inlay Space Kachina Necklace in Sterling Silver

Meet "Astral Chieftain," A Southwest-Inspired Opal Inlay Pendant Featuring a Kachina and Space Motif Depicted by lab-created opal and multicolor gemstones inlaid into black onyx, this Philippines-crafted Southwest-inspired pendant features a masked kachina with a large, fanning headdress shown against a night's sky. Different colors of round lab-created opals flash like stars and planets in the black onyx sky. Though the Filipino artist is unknown, the back of the pendant is stamped with the initials "LU". 18” sterling silver box-style chain included. Able to support up to a 6mm wide chain, the pendant can safely be enjoyed by male and female wearers alike on a variety of both masculine and feminine chain styles. We suggest not getting the piece wet, as many Philippines-crafted inlay pieces use or incorporate dyed gemstones for maximum color contrast. This practice is considerably common enough for buyers to be aware of when buying any Philippines-made inlay jewelry. More Information...
