Vintage Frank Patania Sterling Silver and Turquoise Pin/Pendant

Vintage sterling silver and turquoise pin/pendant. Frank Patania was a well known Tucson Arizona silversmith. His father was a jeweler and his family continues his jeweler's tradition. The back of the piece has a fold away bail which is not visible  when worn as a pin. The thunder bird logo Sterling and FP are stamped on the back. The diameter is 2 1/4". The inside circle which holds 6 turquoise stones is 1 1/4" diameter. The longest stone is 1/2".  Some of  the natural turquoise has changed color which will happen when contact with skin oils occurs. Many collectors like this look. There are some surface scratches from having been worn but overall condition is good. Frank Patania work is collectable. Thank you for looking. Please let us know if you  have questions.
