    Description

    Stewart Billie Tufa Cast Squash Blossom 1880's pattern style double bar cross Navajo Sterling Silver Cross Necklace. I got this from Stewart at the 2019 inter tribal ceremony in Gallup.
    I’ve said many times and I’ll repeat it. Stewart is my favorite tufa cast Navajo artist. He is never stingy with the gauge of sterling he uses. His pieces tend to be heavier than most. This one weighs 184 grams.
    It is 26” long and he has a simple but gorgeous piece of turquoise in the center naja cross.
    I may have the tufa stone mold for this necklace. If I find it, I’ll add a picture of it.
    Beautiful investment piece of jewelry. Just found the earrings that go with this set.
