Vintage Native American Style Naja Pendant Necklace

This item is a vintage-style Native American inspired necklace featuring a prominent Naja (crescent) pendant. The necklace is constructed from a double-strand link chain, likely made of silver-toned metal or low-grade silver, exhibiting a dark oxidization or patina throughout the recessed areas. The Naja pendant is highly ornate, featuring five oval-shaped faux or stabilized turquoise cabochons with significant matrix veining in blue and black tones. One larger pear-shaped turquoise stone hangs as a central drop within the crescent. The metalwork on the pendant includes twisted rope borders, decorative stampings, and stylized blossom tips at the ends of the crescent. Construction appears to be cast metal rather than high-end hand-fabricated silversmithing. There is visible wear consistent with age, including surface scratches and tarnish. While the seller listing mentions it is 'signed,' the specific maker's mark is not visible in this photograph. Based on the aesthetic and materials, it likely dates to the mid-to-late 20th century, mimicking the classic Navajo Squash Blossom style.
