A red coral lobster is not the usual image on Navajo jewelry – this was possibly a special request, and is absolutely exquisite. The deep red coral is beautifully carved and raised above a domed sterling silver disc; inside a ring of silver that is stamped with traditional designs; on a large link sterling chain. Circle is 1.6 inches in diameter; lobster portion is approximately 1 inch in diameter; chain is 21 inches. It is not easy to detach the chain from the pendant. Total weight is 23.7 grams; penny is for size reference. Ask if you have any questions or need more pictures.
