Black Onyx and White Jade Cross Pendant by Dan Dodson

Dan Dodson, a Southwest jewelry designer who collaborates with Turquoise Mustang, created this large, dramatic Navajo-style cross pendant with stacked black onyx and white jade cross-shaped cabochons creating maximum color contrast — deep matte black against pure white. The cross form in Southwest jewelry has been central to Navajo silversmithing since Spanish mission influence in the 19th century, and the oversized scale here gives the piece commanding presence. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
