Vintage Squash Blossom Necklace Zuni

C. 1950-1960 Pre-owned Vintage Native American Zuni designed Squash Blossom Necklace Sterling Silver and Turquoise Authentic, had it appraised online and was told circa 1950-60s. In my own research I discovered that it is similar to many other Zuni tribe designs. This is an unmarked unsigned piece which also could mean it may be older than 1950s, but due to the amount of Turquoise used it may be safe to assume era listed. It weighs 91.6 grams total and is approximately 12" long and about 21.5" from clasp to clasp. There are a total of 116 Turquoise stones inlaid by hand sawtooth silver bezel. Enclosed with a hook clasp, the beads are about 0.5mm wide and blossoms are about 2 1/8" wide. The "Naja" is 2.5" wide and about the same in height. Piece has not been professionally clean to ensure the detail and integrity of the necklaces History. This will be a great addition to your Native American collection or to begin one. Gorgeous rare and unique piece!
