My take:

I sourced this for the clean geometry and the maker: Navajo artist Rick Tolino, known for crisp channel inlay. The oval turquoise inlay pendant is set in solid .925 sterling and rides on a hand-strung turquoise bead strand with sterling cones, spacers, and a smooth extender. It sits naturally at 18.5” and extends to 21”. Balanced weight, gliding bail, and Tolino’s hallmark on the back—exactly what I look for.

Why it earns repeat wear:

• Artist-hallmarked Rick Tolino (Navajo) turquoise channel-inlay pendant in sterling

• Hand-strung turquoise bead necklace with sterling cones, spacers, and 2.5” extender

• Comfortable drape; bail keeps the pendant centered

• One-of-a-kind, curated in Santa Fe, NM

• Layers with silver chains or stands alone—denim to dress, it just works
