Black Onyx Cluster Cross on Stamped Shield by Dan Dodson

Dan Dodson, a Southwest jewelry designer who collaborates with Turquoise Mustang, arranged black onyx cabochons — one square center, five oval, and four round — in a structured cluster cross formation mounted on a hand-stamped sterling silver shield base. Each stone is individually set in a twisted rope bezel. The shield base adds architectural depth and echoes the concho tradition in Navajo silverwork, where stamped silver discs have been a core design element since the 19th century. Bale opening: 10mm. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
