Square Lapis Lazuli 12-Stone Cross Pendant by Dan Dodson

Dan Dodson, a Southwest jewelry designer who collaborates with Turquoise Mustang, set 12 square-cut lapis lazuli cabochons in plain bezels across this bold sterling silver cross pendant. The geometric grid layout and square stone cuts give this a contemporary, architectural quality while the cross form references the 19th-century Spanish mission influence on Navajo silversmithing. Lapis lazuli is mined primarily in Badakhshan, Afghanistan, and is prized for deep cobalt blue color and gold pyrite inclusions. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
