Buddy Lee Handcrafted Necklace & Pendant Inlaid Sterling Silver with Gemstones

Description: This unique necklace and pendant were handcrafted by Buddy Lee Mossman. These two pieces were made to be worn together but the pendant is detachable so they can be worn individually. The bail on the top of the pendant is a hook which can be slipped over the large jump ring in the center. We purchased a number of pieces of his work in Santa Fe, NM approx. 25 years ago. The neck piece is made of heavy sterling silver and inlaid with pink coral, variscite and mother of pearl lip shell. The two curved pieces are joined by a heavy silver jump ring in the front where the pendant is attached. The closure in the back is a hook that fits into a section of oblong linked chain. Every piece was handcrafted including the jump ring, chain and clasp. The overall length of the neck piece is approx. 17 3/8" long at its longest length. The pendant is a stylized figure of a man. He is made of sterling silver inlaid with pink coral, variscite, mother of pearl lip shell and mastodon fossil. He measures 3.75" high not including the bail which bring the piece to 4.5" high. He measures 1.75" wide at the widest point. This unique set is signed, copyrighted and stamped sterling as shown above. The silver is in good condition but does contain some of the very thin little scratches that sterling silver is prone to having. Especially older pieces like these. Buddy Lee Mossman was an iconic craftsman who created artistic jewelry pieces for many years. His work was often whimsical and his finely crafted one of a kind silver creations usually contained unique gemstones and fossils. His work is collected worldwide and especially known in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Buddy Lee Mossman passed away in 2018.
