Vintage Navajo Turquoise Sterling Silver Cast Squash Blossom Necklace GORGEOUS

This listing features a vintage Navajo handcrafted squash blossom necklace made from sterling silver, gem grade turquoise, and mercury dimes. This vintage necklace was expertly handcrafted by a highly skilled Navajo silversmith.

It dates back to the later mid-century and is an excellent example of authentic Native American jewelry. The sand-cast Naja is thick and heavy featuring a gem grade turquoise stone. The stone is in excellent condition, protruding from a straight bezel with amazing color hues of caribbean ocean blues and heavy tan matrixes. The Naja has a simple starburst design while featuring starburst stampings at each end. Mercury dimes line each side of the necklace being in wonderful shape with the mint years still visible.

Each dime is soldered to a rectangular plate of silver that twists 180 degrees to rest between the pearls. The front edge of each silver plate has a jagged sawtooth finish adding just a hint of detail. The handmade pearls are in excellent condition and strung on a sturdy foxtail chain with a classic hook and eye clasp. Its a well made sturdy piece from beginning to end. The design is somewhat simple but incredibly well executed.

One of the best attributes this piece has over others is its wearability. Squash blossoms are sometimes bulky and dont wear well, but this design lays beautifully and wears very comfortably around the neck. The cast Naja lays perfectly between the breasts while the dimes lay flat against the chest, making it the most comfortable squash weve come across yet.

The mannequin in the photos is life size, so what you see on the mannequin is what you will see on yourself. This item has been left in its original state with a naturally aged dark patina. This Navajo crafted necklace is a fantastic example of Native American culture.

It will last for years to come and be handed down for generations..... Cherish and enjoy for now.. And pass down to loved ones in the future. Weight - 146 Grams - 5.1 Ounces. Length From End to End - 28.
