Item Description

Vintage Navajo-style bear claw pendant handcrafted in sterling silver with natural turquoise and coral cabochons. This unique overlay design features a bold cutout claw motif paired with raised bezels and traditional hand stamping. A striking example of classic Native American jewelry, likely crafted between the 1970s–1990s.

The back is stamped “NAV”, which commonly denotes Navajo origin. The silver has a warm natural patina, and the sawtooth bezels and polished stones point to traditional techniques used by Navajo silversmiths of the time.

💎 Natural turquoise and coral stones
🐾 Overlay-style bear claw cutout
🔨 Handcrafted in sterling silver (unmarked, but tested and consistent)
📏 Approx. 1.5" tall (including bail)
🔍 Stamped “NAV” on reverse

⚠️ Disclaimer:
This pendant is stamped “NAV..” and is consistent with traditional Navajo silverwork from the mid- to late-20th century. The turquoise and coral are believed to be natural, and the silver is likely sterling based on patina and construction, though unmarked. The artist is unknown and the piece has not been professionally authenticated.

Shipping ONLY!!

This is a shipping only auction. We provide in-house shipping!

This auction is shipping only; no local pickup is available. All fulfillment is handled in-house. A single flat shipping and handling fee of $20 will be applied per invoice, regardless of the number of lots won. Your payment method on file will be charged automatically at the close of the auction for the merchandise total, and a separate automatic charge for shipping will process 3–5 days later.

If you are sales tax exempt, you must complete the exemption process and upload your certificate through the AuctionNinja platform prior to bidding. AuctionNinja does not permit tax-exempt treatment without that verification in place.

If shipping charges remain unpaid, items will be considered forfeited after 25 days. It is the buyer’s responsibility to contact us by email within that period to arrange shipment. If items are "returned to sender", we will attempt to contact you to arrange alternative shipping. After three attempts, your items will be considered forfeited without refund.

We make every effort to provide accurate descriptions and clear photographs; however, all property is sold as is, and no sale will be invalidated due to errors or omissions in descriptions or images. Items represented as sterling silver or gold are either hallmarked accordingly or acid-tested. Stone identification—including whether stones are natural, lab-created, enhanced, or otherwise—cannot be guaranteed.

For the fastest response, please contact us by email. Our team is generally unavailable to answer or return phone calls during most business hours.
