This White Fox Creation we started with a pendant made by Running Bear. Running Bear is a Native American shop out of Gallup New Mexico which has been around since the 70's. Running Bear employs local Native American talent to make jewelry on location in their shop and also commissioned pieces from some of the more well know artist.

The pendant is set with 7 pieces of turquoise in smooth sterling bezels and accented with sterling droplets. Then the piece is finished with a pretty hand stamped fan designs accented with sterling droplets. Then we created a chain using turquoise that took me months to find a color to match the stone in the pendant. Once that was accomplished we used a bead made by the Kingman Mine company. The beads are made using Kingman turquoise and spiny oyster fused together with copper. The beads are not nature made they I simply love them, so unique. Then to complete the necklace chain we added a splash of spiny oyster beads, 8 mm Sterling Navajo pearls, long stamped sterling barrel beads, and copper spacers.
