Andy Cadman is a Navajo silversmith he has been creating fine Native American jewelry for over 20 years. He is the brother of Darrell Cadman, Gary and Daniel “Sunshine” Reeves, and David Reeves. Andy learned to silversmith from his brothers Daniel and David Reeves. Andy creates one of a kind and very intricately hand stamped pieces of Native American jewelry. Like his brother’s work, most of his creations are fully covered in beautiful traditional Navajo deep stamp work. This process is both time consuming and labor intensive, making each piece a true one of a kind work of art. His creations are usually very bold, as he uses a thick gauge of sterling silver for his works, and beautiful natural turquoise stones.
This is a sterling silver Navajo handmade pendant, with a natural rare Nevada Turquoise stone. The stone is a beautiful blue/green color with pale blue hues, and a webbed host matrix. The stone sits in a smooth bezel with a hand twisted wire of silver at the base.
The silver work is extraordinary and done in traditional old style Navajo fashion. Cadman hand stamped the entire pendant end to end. Andy finished the silver work with a beautiful dark oxidation and a high shine.
This pendant measures 2-3/8 inches from top of bale to bottom and 1-5/8 inch at widest point. The stone measures 3/4 inch by 1/2 inch, and the bale has a 3/8 inch diameter.
