Necklace, Leather Thong, Turquoise & Mixed Stones, Inlay, Jock Favour Hallmark, Artisan, Contemporary, 1888

A CHIC STRAP NECKLACE IS A SOUTHWESTERN STAPLE.

Crafted by Jock Favour, this unique statement necklace features a bold pendant with geometric mosaic inlay of turquoise, orange spiny oyster, and black onyx set in a sterling silver frame complemented by dimensional details at each corner. The pendant is affixed to a deerskin thong cord with silver bead adjusters. It’s a great piece for layering, but you can also wear it solo for a subtle pop of southwestern style.

Jock is an archaeologist so all of his work replicates the style as well as the process of early Navajo work.  He uses all-natural stones that he mines and sets in the traditional manner.
