Necklace, Leather Thong, Kachina, Artisan, Hallmark, Contemporary 1323

Do yourself a Favour… 

This one-of-a-kind work of art is the creation of one of our favorite contemporary artisans, Jock Favour. The Anglo artisan is renowned for his silverwork and is possibly best known for his leather thong necklaces with stunning statement pendants. We are drawn to the dimensional elements of this cool kachina pendant, crafted in sterling silver and embellished with stones of orange spiny oyster and turquoise, including some pieces of repurposed turquoise. It’s affixed to a traditional leather strap, making it a great necklace for layering or just adding a conversation piece to your everyday outfit. This piece, while not hallmarked, is authenticated in that it was purchased directly from Jock himself.

Jock Favour (?-; Anglo). Active since 1970s. Classic, hand-wrought; ingot; stamp and file work; set stones.
