Squash Blossom Necklaces

By kls2, 6 April, 2010
Description

All I know is what I've been told about these two squashblossom necklaces. Made by Navajo tribes of New Mexico in the 1930s or 1940s. One has turquoise stones and the other looks like mother-of-pearl set in silver with silver beads. They both measure approximately 25" long from hook to eye. The naja medallion pendants are approximately 3 1/8" wide x 3 1/4" tall. Any information and appraisals are appreciated.

Re: Squash Blossom Necklaces

Jewelry is not really suited to the online appraisal format, it really needs to be physically examined to evaluate the quality of the stones mounts and determine origins.
