Southwestern Navajo Royston Turquoise Sterling Silver Squash Blossom Necklace

  

We may not always be available on weekends and/or holidays, but we will respond to your message, in the order it was received, when we return to the office. Rare Southwestern Navajo Royston turquoise sterling silver squash blossom necklace, unmarked. This gorgeous necklace showcases 16 high-grade Royston turquoise stones. The 6-stone naja is about 3 1/8" tall by 2 7/8" wide, with its larger, center stone measuring 1" in height by 7/8" in width, from bezel to bezel. The bead necklace has 10 turquoise stones adorning each of the graduated squash blossoms that range in height from 1 5/8" - 1 3/8".

All the cabochons are set in smooth bezels wrapped in twisted wire, and framed by a simple, yet elegant filed border. Each 1/4 bench-made bead was individually crafted by soldering the two halves, a very meticulous work, and unfortunately a dying art. The whole necklace has a light to moderate patina, left untouched. This piece weighs a hefty 198.4 grams, and it's just shy of 27 3/4 from hook to eye.

Superb, museum quality necklace, a classic Navajo design crafted with exceptional stones. Thank you for supporting authentic Native American art. Additional notes: The top-center stone has a partial hairline, and the bottom-center stone has a partial line, maybe 1/4 that's too faint to appear on the photos. All stones remain secure in their bezels. We have added a few pictures taken outdoors to give you a better idea of the color of each stone.

They are all very different. Please measure your wrist, decolletage, finger, and waist, or use an old bracelet, necklace, bolo tie, belt, and so on, to determine your size. All items in our store are preowned, and in vintage-used condition. Minor wear, light surface scratches, and other common conditions in used items should be expected.

Please allow for some variation in color. We attempt to capture the actual color of the stones/shells to the best of our ability, but cameras, lighting, and monitors may not portray the exact color. When the color in the photos is significantly different from the original, we will add that information to "additional notes" at the bottom of the listing.

Items have a fixed price, however, we will consider all reasonable offers. Our items are packed securely and under surveillance cameras for your peace of mind.
