Contemporary Eric Othole Pendant of Sterling Silver

About the Piece:

Many of you likely recognize Jolene Eustace's jewelry. Did you know that Eric Othole, the talented Zuni jeweler who hand created this lovely sterling silver pendant is Jolene's son? If you know Jolene's work, you can see the similarity.

Eric Othole's rectangular pendant is decorated with a free flowing extended spiral design and accented with texture, oxidation, and tiny circles. The spiral or swirl motif is one found in ancient petroglyphs, and it represents migration or journeys.

This is an easy every day piece to wear as you go about your own journey — something that can quietly mark where you’ve been and where you’re headed. It also makes a meaningful gift for a loved one.

You can hang the pendant from a chain or a leather cord. It will ship with leather.

Also, something to note: Some people have been taught that Native American jewelry is never signed with a .925 mark. This pendant is a good example of how some Native artists do, in fact, use .925 to indicate sterling silver content.

The pendant measures 2 1/8" from top of bale to bottom x 5/8" wide. It's signed on the reverse.
