This pendant, made by Rosella Paxson, features an webby chunk of Hubei turquoise surrounded by eight stunning pieces of green Egyptian turquoise. Those beauties are separated by sterling rosettes and framed by Rosella’s signature wire work, and finally it is topped off with a generous 19mm bail. Altogether, it measures 4-3/8 inches tall and 3 inches wide.
Rosella S. Paxson is originally from Whiteriver, AZ but currently resides in Albuquerque, NM. She is a member of the White Mountain Apache Tribe on the Ft Apache Reservation. When we asked her about her craft recently, she was very humble, but she said “I have been silversmithing for over 20 years, and enjoy every minute of it... making a piece of jewelry and putting your thoughts of design into the piece you’re making.
