Offered here for your consideration' is a very striking vintage Sterling silver and Onyx Navajo pin/brooch. It consists of a cross shaped backing sheet of Sterling silver that has been stamped with arcs and circles.
Atop are 2 square, two teardrop, one oval and four small round cabochons of natural Onyx stone in saw-tooth bezels. On either side of the small round cabochons are two silver drops. What makes this pin very distinctive are the three oval'drops' of Onyx cabochons. The pin is Hallmarked Sterling and has the maker mark B on the back.
This pin may have been commissioned for that company; an environmental consulting company including geologists, though I can not guarantee that. The pin back works well and is very sturdy. Other than some very light scratches, this pin is in excellent vintage condition, great patina and looks never to have been worn! A beautifully made pin with an unusual choice of stones. Stunning on a white blouse...
The black and white combination is always elegant! The following measurements are approximate. The pin measures 2 x 3 which includes the dangles. Please take a moment to look at all the other vintage Western and old pawn Southwest jewelry I have on my site!
