Its width is 2-3/4 inches and it is topped off with a 16mm bail, making the height 4-1/2 inches. Stamped sterling and RP for Rosella Paxson. This listing is for the cross pendant only - the Sheila Tso cuff can be found in a separate listing.
Rosella S. Paxson is originally from Whiteriver, AZ but currently resides in Albuquerque, NM. She is a member of the White Mountain Apache Tribe on the Ft Apache Reservation. When we asked her about her craft recently, she was very humble, but she said “I have been silversmithing for over 20 years, and enjoy every minute of it... making a piece of jewelry and putting your thoughts of design into the piece you’re making whether it's earrings, rings, bracelets or pendants….it's unique...I am thankful and blessed to have become a silversmith.”
Actual colors may vary slightly due to lighting, screen display and/or the way color is seen by an individual.
This listing is for the item named in the title only. Additional photo props or styling pieces are not included.
Handcrafted/Handmade work is unique in its design, which means that imperfections will most often be part of an item’s character. Inconsistencies will occur by nature, which makes each piece truly one of a kind; an artist is not a machine.
Thank you for looking! Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
