Vintage Native American Sterling Malachite Pendant Necklace Signed GS

Vintage genuine Navajo sterling silver and malachite necklace. This handcrafted Native American piece features a striking dual-drop pendant design showcasing two rich, natural deep-green malachite stones with gorgeous natural banding.
The back of the pendant is clearly stamped with the purity mark “STERLING” with the artisan’s hallmark initials “GS” positioned directly underneath. In mid-to-late 20th-century Southwestern jewelry, this high-quality design was popularized by elite smiths like Richard Begay. This specific piece was handcrafted by a contemporary master Navajo silversmith utilizing the highly collected “GS” block stamp (associated with celebrated Navajo makers such as Glenn Sandoval or Gary Spencer). The necklace features excellent weight, traditional hand-cut bezel work, and an elegant silhouette that sits beautifully when worn. It has been kept in its original vintage state with its natural, authentic silver patina intact.
No cracks to the stones. (Please see photos for exact condition details).
