David Rosales Square Rosarita Pendant

Red Rosarita Square Pendant – Contemporary Native American Jewelry

The Square Rosarita Pendant by David Rosales is a bold, modern piece with clean lines and vivid color. This pendant features a shining sterling silver border that frames the deep red Rosarita inlay at the center. The inlay itself is made up of precisely cut Rosarita stones, each one separated by fine silver channels that form a geometric, almost woven pattern. Measuring 1 ¾ inches long and 1 ⅜ inches wide, it has enough presence to stand out, while the polished silver frame gives it a sleek, finished look.

What makes this pendant truly special is the craftsmanship. Every single piece of Rosarita stone is cut, shaped, and set entirely by hand. This level of detail requires patience and skill, and no two pendants will ever be exactly alike. The end result is a piece that feels both contemporary and timeless, with its sharp silver frame and warm, fiery center.

Rosarita itself is an uncommon material with an interesting history. Created decades ago during the gold refining process, it has since become rare and highly valued for its brilliant red tones and glossy surface. Here, it adds an unmistakable richness that turns this pendant into a statement piece.

This pendant is handcrafted in Gallup, New Mexico by Navajo artists from David Rosales’ team. Because the inlay is created entirely by hand, the process takes time. Please allow approximately six weeks for your pendant to be completed, a short wait for a design that will last for years to come.
