This is a classic large bale cross pendant set with a variety of shapes of stones (Sterling beads pictured above sold separately). This piece features six gorgeous blue and green stones of natural, untreated Royston turquoise from Nevada. The stones are set in straight-edged bezels and the center oval is wrapped with twist wire.
This pendant is much in the style of cross pendants that we've sold for a few years by Albert Jake. Albert and Darryl are friends and Darryl, no doubt, was encouraged by Albert to make some crosses. Darryl's stampwork is all his own and his crosses, while similar to Albert's, carry the mark of his very unique stamping combinations.
ATTENTION: The 10 mm. diameter Sterling beads pictured above in the fourth and fifth photos are sold separately. See the links at the bottom of this page to locate these beads on our website.
