Navajo Native American Turquoise Sterling Silver Squash Blossom Fish Necklace

TITLE: Navajo Native American Turquoise Sterling Silver Squash Blossom Fish Necklace

DESCRIPTION: This beautiful Native American squash blossom necklace is finely crafted and detailed. Artisan-made, the center pendant is a beautiful horseshoe shape with a rounded diadem affixed to the top and a handing oval ornament that matches the necklace's chain ornamentation. It is crafted of sterling, with raised silver loops and bezel-set turquoise pieces.

Moving up the necklace, we find a total of 12 fish-shaped ornaments with flared tails (evoking the aforementioned blooming flower), silver loops and turquoise interspersed among the strung double strand of hollow silver beads that make up the necklace's chain. This tapers to a single strand of strung beads as the necklace reaches the simple hook clasp that finishes the piece. This is truly a stunning piece of art as well as a lovely example of a statement necklace. 

Piece is unmarked but has been jeweler acid-tested for sterling.

CONDITION: Necklace presents beautifully and is in very good vintage condition, with minor wear/scuffing, tarnish and patina commensurate with age. No major damage has been noted and no stones are missing. Please review all photos before purchasing.
