Vintage Navajo Turquoise Squash Blossom Necklace

18 Stone  28 3/4″

This stunning vintage squash blossom necklace features eighteen natural turquoise cabochons set in richly detailed sterling silver settings. At the center is a bold, two-wire conjoined naja, adorned with five vibrant turquoise stones and a suspended turquoise dangle. The naja is framed with classic twisted wire accents, arched silver designs, and darkened backgrounds that highlight the depth and dimension of the piece.

Twelve finely crafted squash blossoms line the neckline, each set with a matching turquoise cabochon and echoing the same silverwork motifs as the naja — twisted wires, darkened recesses, and scalloped edges, all hand-formed in the traditional Navajo style.

The necklace is completed with two strands of sterling silver bench beads, strung on chain for strength and flexibility, and finished with silver findings.
