Hopi Pendant Authentic Native Made Sterling Silver Overlay Pendant Necklace

Description: In the world of Native jewelry Hopi silversmiths are not as prolific as other tribes, therefore, you just won't see as much of it for sale. The Hopi are known for their silver overlay work and this 1 1/4" diameter pendant necklace is an example of that. Overlay is where the bottom sheet of silver is oxidized or blackened. The top sheet has patterns or designs cut out. The oxidized bottom makes the top layer of cut out silver stand out in a very nice way and gives the jewelry a more dimensional look. The chain is a handmade link chain which is approximately 17 3/4" in length. It has a tension O-ring closure. Hallmarked with the Surface which is a mark for the Hopi Guild. Also hallmarked with a pictogram of the sun. Not marked sterling but guaranteed as such. Condition: There are fine surface scratches seen on magnification as expected for a vintage piece. The O-ring closure is a bit sticky as well. There is some loss of oxidation in one area which can be seen in the pictures. Overall, would say this vintage Hopi pendant appears to be in fairly good condition. Being a vintage piece, however, it is being sold in "as is" condition. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact me and allow me the opportunity to attempt to remedy the situation. Thank you for your interest.
