Gila Monster Pendant by Elvis Nelson

Handcrafted sterling silver pendant and pin depicting a stylized Southwestern Gila monster set with a striking natural turquoise cabochon.

The stone displays a vivid sky-blue color with scattered metallic matrix inclusions, creating exceptional visual contrast against the hand-stamped silverwork. Mr. Nelson decorated the entire Gila monster with traditional stampwork, from the head and legs to the curled tail, giving the piece remarkable detail and character.
