For your consideration is a remarkable Navajo Native American Royston turquoise squash blossom necklace. The necklace features a highly polished gem quality Royston Turquoise, renowned for its beautiful colors ranging from deep forest green to rich, light blues set off by a large, light brown matrix. The turquoise is set in traditional sandcast silver blossoms and shows wonderful workmanship. The squash blossom is in good condition and is displayed on a silver beaded strand. The piece shows a large squash blossom naja pendant with a single turquoise gemstone set at the top center. The back of the squash shows the correct patina and wear indicative of its age. The necklace shows five blossoms on either side of the naja. What is unique about this necklace is that the blossoms are not your traditional pendant blossom. It measures 26 ½" long when unclasped. This is truly a wonderful and quality example of an original piece.
