Navajo Silver and Turquoise Squash Blossom Necklace

Navajo

Circa 1980 | Silver, Turquoise | Item 2682

This showy, Navajo squash blossom necklace has a lot to say! Natural turquoise nuggets are set into a bezel then bordered by twisted wire. Each stone is top with two leaves and three, tiny, silver orbs. The stones are put onto a double strand of bench beads. There are 5 stones on each side. The nadja is a semi-circle of 7 stones set in the same manner. The turquoise has much depth, showing dark veins of inclusions throughout the stones. This necklace is a showstopper!
