This Navajo sterling silver, micro-inlay necklace and pendant exemplifies the signature micro-fine inlay (or micro-mosaic/intarsia) technique of Carl & Irene Clark. The piece combines a bold central pendant with a mixed chain of smooth sterling silver tubes and smaller inlaid turquoise segments, creating a balanced, architectural look that sits prominently on the chest. The design draws on classic Southwest motifs, stepped elements, chevrons, and color blocking reminiscent of Navajo weaving and sandpainting while remaining boldly contemporary. The combination of the large, story-telling pendant and the complementary chain makes this a true statement piece. The result is wearable art that blends traditional Navajo geometric abstraction with a crisp, almost Art Deco precision.

Sterling silver, Sleeping Beauty turquoise, coral, jet, lapis, spiny oyster, mother-of-pearl, and 14k gold.
