Vintage Les Baker Signed Massive Coral Pendant Necklace Sterling Silver Old Pawn

This striking vintage necklace is a signed work from the shop of Les Baker, a renowned Anglo silversmith who employed many skilled Navajo artisans to handcraft his designs. The pendant showcases a bold natural Mediterranean red coral stone set in sterling silver with hand-tooled leaf and rope detailing. The stone is suspended within a teardrop-shaped sterling frame, beautifully accented with hand-carved coral heishi beads for added depth and artistry. The pendant measures 2 7/8” long by 1 13/16” wide and hangs from a 17” sterling silver paperclip chain. The chain can be easily swapped for a longer one or paired with an extender for added versatility. • Maker: Les Baker (signed) • Heritage: Anglo silversmith who employed Navajo artisans • Stone: Natural Mediterranean red coral • Frame: Sterling silver teardrop, accented with hand-carved coral heishi beads • Pendant Size: 2 7/8” x 1 13/16” • Chain Length: 17” vintage paperclip chain • Style: Old Pawn, Southwestern statement necklace • Condition: Vintage, excellent with natural patina ⚒️ The design, materials, and craftsmanship are highly consistent with traditional Navajo silversmith work.
