Green Turquoise Inlay Pendant Necklace in Navajo Sterling Silver, by Rick Tolino

A statement green turquoise inlay pendant set in sterling silver, handmade by Navajo silversmith Rick Tolino. This one-of-a-kind piece has a bold Southwest presence that works beautifully as a daily statement necklace or a special occasion accent, and it ships directly from Santa Fe.

The High Desert Mosaic references the natural mosaic of color found across Southwestern turquoise mines. Multiple cuts of genuine green turquoise are inlaid edge-to-edge across the sterling silver pendant, creating a piece that reads as both contemporary and rooted in Navajo tradition with a distinctly Santa Fe artisan feel.

If you are choosing between minimalist and statement necklaces, this is very much a striking statement pendant. It is designed to stand out while still being comfortable enough for everyday wear with casual outfits, denim, tees, and simple dresses, as well as more polished looks. The green turquoise gives this pendant an earthy, high-desert tone that pairs beautifully with neutrals and classic Southwest style.

Why this costs less than a gallery. A piece like this sits on a Santa Fe gallery wall at a meaningful premium over what I charge. Mine is lower because I buy the finished piece directly from the silversmith and ship it straight to you. Same silver, same stone, same maker, no gallery markup in between. How gallery pricing works
