Damele Naja pendant~ ~ Sterling Silver~ Artisan Handmade
Damele Naja pendant~ ~ Sterling Silver~ Artisan Handmade
This is a beautiful piece of Natural, Damele, that I have handcrafted into a lovely Naja, Sterling silver Pendant, in a Vintage, Native American Southwestern style.
..This is from the legendary, Damele mine in Nevada, a classic, but rare, and hard to find. This is an intriguing stone, it has a lovely color, and matrix pattern. Natural and untreated, just beautiful!
..The Damale turquoise mine also called the Damele, Damaile and Damali turquoise mine is located in east central Nevada near the Carico Lake mine. The mine itself is located on the famous Damele Ranch, named after the famous breed of curly haired horses bred to withstand the incredibly difficult winter conditions in Nevada. Damele turquoise is distinctive because of the zinc content that turns the stone yellow-green and increases its hardness in some cases. The yellow Damale turquoise is fairly soft material, but is the material that tests positively as turquoise. The Damale Nevada turquoise mine is also famous for the Damale or Damele Variscite and Faustite that is sometimes a vivid lime green and shocking Yellow - Lime Green, plus many other shades of green. The matrix of the material from Damele is webbed with a dark brown to black matrix. Mining operations have long since ceased at Damele.
.. I have crafted this lovely pendant from a heavy gauge of silver, with much attention to detail, to hold up to many happy years of wear!
.. This is an awesome Statement piece, made especially for the "Wild at Heart", to wear and enjoy! It's unique and beautiful, sure to garner much attention and admiration!
...2 1/2” tall x 1 7/8” wide
..29.8 grams total weight on this pendant.
…25.5 carats in this Damele stone.
.. The bail is closed, has lovely stamping, measures 1/2” inside.
.. Thank you for visiting my shop I hope you find something you would love to wear.
..This listing is for the Pendant only, Navajo Pearls available separately.
........Blessings

from 1801 reviewsThe Tres Flora Stacker Cuff bracelet is beautiful! This is the second Tres Flora bracelet I have bought, and both are so fun to stack and wear with different bracelets. Quality is impeccable and detail is perfect!
Wanda always does an excellent job!
I recently introduced my daughter-in-law to my Wild at Heart collection of which I have many pieces. She admired several of my White Buffalo items so I’ve been watching for the perfect Christmas gift for her. Since she wears dangling earrings, I knew this pair would be just the thing to please her. Wow! I was so impressed when they arrived! They’re simply stunning! Now I can’t wait to present her with them next month. I have no doubt that she will be thrilled.
I have been purchasing treasures from Wanda for many years, and she never disappoints. Her craftsmanship and the quality of the stones are the absolute highest one can find. This pendant is the perfect reflection of that tradition. It’s a big old beautiful pendant that’s sure to be noticed and appreciated for years. Love it!
Wanda has done it again!!!
My new favourite piece from Wanda. This white Buffalo ring is Gorgeous! Best silversmith I’ve ever seen, her craft work is flawless.
What you created Wanda is more beautiful than I envisioned. I make some jewelry, like Folky pieces seen @ Sundance catalog, vintage beads, real stones, asymmetrical, . However, this is gorgeous. My husband is critical of me and my jewelry.
I didn't tell him I bought this. And he thought this pendant [ I placed it upon a Navajo small pearl necklace I had] was just beautiful. I love the meanings for Royston Turquoise [ looked it up] and the use of Citrine, a stone without negativity either. It feels so good to wear. I keep it in a special box and I cherish it. You are very talented and more, Wanda. Thank you.
My first Naja! Such a beautiful piece. Looks fantastic with my Navajo Pearls from Wanda. The Tyrone turquoise and amber are so beautifully matched I couldn’t resist buying it. Love how Wanda hand makes all her pieces and takes such care to find perfect pieces of turquoise and stones. Have many pieces of Wanda’s jewelry. Fell in love with the quality of work and care she puts into every piece. Can’t go wrong purchasing from her.
My Spirit Pony turquoise pendent is gorgeous and perfect. I am so happy I made this heirloom purchase. Thank you Wanda.
The title says it all. I loved this spirit horse when I saw it on line. It arrived today. When I opened the box, I was overwhelmed. Just beautiful. I'm wearing it tomorrow.
Now to look for something else!
Wanda is my favorite silversmith hands down!!! Every single piece I have purchased from Wanda has been perfectly hand crafted. Not only are the colors beautiful but the wear is comfortable. I Will always buy her pieces.
What a beautiful ring! The details are exquisite. I love the color of this stone. I have many rings and I think this might be my new favorite. Shipped very fast. Highly recommended!
OMG! I have several pairs of earrings from Wanda, and they are all awesome. But these...are the cats' pajamas! Well made and the pink stones are beyond my expectations.
The quality of this ring is far beyond my expectations. It is stunning and I am buying the bracelet to match. Wanda is great to work with. She goes out of her way to work with you.
