Navajo Sterling Silver #8 Turquoise Super Naja Necklace Tufa Cast

This extraordinary Super Naja Necklace is exclusively created for Pax Philomena by a very special Navajo artisan using the ancient tufa cast technique. This striking pendant showcases a beautifully hand-cast Naja in sterling silver, with the centerpiece featuring a bold, rare #8 Turquoise stone, known for its vibrant color, distinctive webbed matrix, and exceptional quality. The tufa casting process, where molten silver is poured into a hand-carved volcanic stone mold, gives this pendant a raw and organic texture, making it truly one-of-a-kind and deeply connected to tradition.

For the Navajo, the Naja is one of the most important and enduring symbols, representing protection, transformation, and new beginnings. Its crescent form has long been associated with strength, fertility, and resilience, passed down for centuries as a sacred emblem in Navajo jewelry. The super-sized design of this pendant amplifies its spiritual presence and makes a bold statement while still carrying its profound cultural meaning.

Designed specifically for Pax Philomena, this extraordinary pendant combines cultural authenticity with contemporary style. The powerful combination of sterling silver and rare #8 Turquoise not only celebrates the artistry of Navajo silversmithing but also highlights the beauty of natural materials sourced with respect and intention. The contrast of the bright sky-blue stone against the richly textured silver captures both elegance and timelessness.

Wearing this Navajo Sterling Silver #8 Turquoise Super Naja Necklace is more than adornment, it is an embrace of heritage and sacred artistry. It embodies the spirit of the artisan who created it, the generations of tradition that came before, and the enduring beauty of Navajo craftsmanship. A rare treasure meant to be worn, cherished, and passed down.
