Navajo VINTAGE Squash Blossom Necklace CANDELARIA Turquoise, Sterling, Big Bold

IT'S GETTING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO GET THESE HUGE & HEAVY VINTAGE SQUASH BLOSSOM NECKLACES FOR YOU. Remember the old adage: "You get what you pay for". If you want the best.... ITEM YOU SEE IS THE EXACT ITEM YOU WILL RECEIVE.

Navajo Native American Indian Squash Blossom Necklace. Please see quarter-of-a-dollar in photos for size reference. Sterling silver construction (verified and tested). The handmade silver-work is OUTSTANDING - Please take a few moments to study the photos. If you love ornate silver-smithing then you'll love this very charming piece - what a special treat to find this old specimen of outstanding Navajo Indian artwork.

Genuine natural turquoise stones from the CANDELARIA group from mines in Nevada. Each stone has a "glow" - which is indicative of Candelaria turquoise and features a moderate amount of interesting matrix. Stones are HIGH-DOMED with interesting matrix thru-out each stone.

Very substantial weight but surprisingly rather comfortable to wear if you enjoy wearing a necklace of this weight and size. 24 clasp-to-clasp not including the naja pendant. Please note: There is a "safety" chain that the previous owner attached to the necklace for "safety" to keep the necklace from falling onto the ground when wearing (if the clasp should come undone). If you actually plan on wearing the necklace - I suggest you leave the "safety chain" as "added security".
