Navajo Coral Squash Blossom Necklace Set

Description

You would be hard pressed to locate a finer coral squash blossom necklace set than this one. All of the coral is gem-quality natural Mediterranean coral set in sterling silver. The necklace is strung with double beads used to balance the squash blossoms on either side. Although the set is unsigned it is expertly made suggesting that it may have been made to be worn within the family or as a gift perhaps. There are nine large (8x12mm) coral cabochons around the naja and 28 slightly smaller stones (8x10mm) comprising the balance of the necklace. the ring (currently size 7.75 but easily sized) has two of the larger (8x12mm) stones while the earrings have 4 of the smaller stones (8x10mm). For the coral alone this set is a treasure.
