Old Pawn Squash Blossom Necklace c1970

Attributed to Navajo Nation jewelers, this squash blossom necklace is completely handmade in the American Southwest in 925 Sterling silver with beautifully-aged turquoise stones, boasting heavy black matrixing. Its free-moving dangle at the center adds movement to the necklace, while the silver has a beautiful patina that highlights its fine details. As is standard in authentic pieces from this time period, the absence of a hallmark is not uncommon, making it highly desired 'old pawn silver'. It’s traditional, yet unique – an instant collector's piece with a gorgeous look!
