Silver Tufa Cast Cross Pendant by Ira Custer

A sweet silver pendant by Navajo jeweler Ira Custer is carefully tufa cast by hand in the shape of an elongated heart with a raised cross in the center. The shiny silver cross stands out against the darker, oxidized background of the heart pendant.

Even though the piece is on the smaller size, it's full of beauty and meaning. It measures 1 1/2" x 3/4" and hangs from a shepherd's hook on the reverse. It would look great on either a chain or a leather strap. Signed "ITC" on the reverse.
