Vintage Navajo Turquoise Cluster Pendant Necklace by J. Wilson, Circa 1970s

A bold and collectible vintage statement piece, this necklace features a handmade sterling silver turquoise cluster pendant attributed to Navajo artist J. Wilson, dating to the circa 1970s. The pendant measures an impressive 3 inches, giving it the strong presence and artistry collectors look for in classic Southwestern and Native American jewelry.

The pendant is designed in a striking round cluster medallion form, centered with a round turquoise cabochon and surrounded by multiple rows of vivid blue turquoise stones. Twisted rope detailing, bead accents, scalloped silverwork, and layered dimensional design give this piece the rich handcrafted character that defines exceptional vintage turquoise jewelry. Several stones show natural-looking matrix, adding individuality and organic beauty.

The reverse is stamped JWMS / JMMS and, per provenance, attributed to Navajo artist J. Wilson. The back also includes both a pendant bail and a pin back, allowing it to be worn either as a necklace pendant or as a brooch. That dual function adds versatility as well as collector appeal.

This pendant is paired with a 22-inch sterling plate brass chain, creating an easy, wearable length that balances the scale of the pendant beautifully. Whether styled with denim, linen, black dresses, or Western-inspired looks, this necklace delivers immediate impact.
