Vintage Native American Southwest Sterling Silver Petite Turquoise Cross Pendant

A beautifully crafted vintage sterling silver cross pendant set with five marquise-shaped genuine turquoise stones in a classic Southwestern artisan design. The turquoise shows natural variation in tone and surface, consistent with genuine commercial-grade turquoise commonly used in vintage Southwest jewelry.

Each stone is individually bezel set in sterling silver, accented with subtle silver bead details at the center and tips. The back is stamped 925 with a maker’s initial “A”, indicating artisan production. The pendant retains a soft vintage patina that enhances the character of the silver.

This is a petite, elegant cross — understated, wearable, and ideal for everyday layering or meaningful gifting.
