Sterling silver Native American Navajo Squash Blossom Necklace Turquoise vintage For Sale

Up for sale is a stunning, heirloom-quality vintage squash blossom necklace. This substantial piece features traditional Navajo craftsmanship, highlighted by a heavy double strand of genuine, handmade silver \"bench beads\" (bench-made pearls). A close inspection reveals the horizontal soldered center seams and hand-stamped ridges on each bead, confirming they were individually crafted by an artisan rather than mass-produced by a machine.The necklace is set with beautiful, vibrant blue turquoise stones secured in classic sawtooth bezels. The stones display natural matrix variations characteristic of authentic turquoise. The necklace terminates in a heavy, beautifully styled crescent Naja pendant.Following the tradition of many mid-century \"old pawn\" pieces, this necklace is unsigned with no hallmark, allowing the exceptional quality of the silversmithing to speak for itself. It has been kept in vintage condition with its deep, dark natural patina left fully intact to preserve its historical character and collector value. Please review photos of condition of flowers around the necklace.
