This listing is for a vintage Navajo squash blossom necklace handcrafted from Sterling Silver and Turquoise. In a retail setting this caliber necklace would be priced at $2,000.00 plus. Asking price is well below market value, fair for both parties, and firm. I price my items to sell quickly…and they do.
NOTE: Please view all 21 photos…last 4 photos show the necklace on a 5 foot 8 inch tall, size 4 model/mannequin.
This Navajo squash dates back to the mid 70’s - early 80’s. The necklace is made from solid sterling silver and richly colored Turquoise appearing to be untreated and natural. The high domed cabs protrude from their bezels featuring an assortment of colors and matrixes with a satin polished finish…possibly Royston..?? Twisted rope accompanies the stones along with deeply oxidized silver outlined in silver circles. The 10 blossoms carry heavy duty triple fluted petals with a solid built structure while the pearls are in beautiful shape with closed seams and no dents to mention. The heavy necklace is well supported on silver wire with the original hook and eye clasp residing at each end.
There is no sterling mark or signature which is more than common in these older Navajo pieces. A rich even patina has achieved and will be left for the buyer to decide on removing or leaving as is. The silver has been multi-tested and we guarantee the metal content to be .925 sterling silver.
Truly a great statement squash in beautiful shape. Add this tangible asset to your collection today and wear with pride!…You deserve it!
