Signed “MALONEY,” this turquoise pendant is attributed to Navajo silversmith Leonard Maloney, whose work includes intricately stamped silver jewelry. The elongated teardrop stone combines vivid blue-green color with broad patches of golden tan and brown matrix. Twisted-rope detailing surrounds the bezel, followed by a wide silver-tone frame patterned with repeating crescents, fine ridges and fan motifs along a scalloped edge. Darkened recesses emphasize the stamped decoration, and a broad, plain bail finishes the top. The strong turquoise color and generous decorative border give the pendant a bold, substantial presence, with the metalwork drawing as much attention as the stone.
