Cecil Ashley Navajo sterling Carico Lake turquoise cobblestone pendant

Description

Cecil Ashley Navajo sterling Carico Lake turquoise cobblestone pendant. Solid sterling, weight and measurements in pics. Fully functional and attractive vintage piece in good condition with no significant issues, but some expected wear. Unmarked, at the time of listing I have a concho belt that matches this that is signed. My guess is it was either custom made by Cecil or one of the links were removed from the belt and a pendant was made from it.

Cecil Ashley is a respected Navajo Master silversmith who signs his pieces “CA sterling. Cecil is well known for his quality of material and meticulous workmanship in his one-of-a-kind collectible designs. He is best known for his extraordinary lapidary skills, whose signature style is creating some of the best mosaic inlay work today.
Cecil worked for the Brown family, Browns Trading Company in Safford, Arizona in the mid-80‘s and had access to top grade Morenci turquoise, which he used to create many beautiful jewelry pieces. There he honed his craft before venturing out on his own and establishing his own studio.
Most of Cecils pieces have a variety of colorful, inlaid materials including spiny oyster, onyx, lapis, opal and the rare Dragon Skin or Brown Spider Web turquoise. These stones are most often inlaid in asymmetrical settings. His other silverwork is classic Navajo stamp work with classically set stones.
