Black Onyx Cross Pendant with Rope Bezel by Dan Dodson

Dan Dodson, a Southwest jewelry designer who collaborates with Turquoise Mustang, set a small black onyx cabochon in a hand-twisted rope bezel on this compact sterling silver cross pendant. The rope bezel — made from twisted fine-gauge silver wire — is a classic Navajo silversmithing technique that adds visual texture and frames the stone with traditional craftsmanship. The small scale makes this a versatile everyday piece that layers well with longer necklaces. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
