1970s Native American Zuni Made Squash Blossom Necklace and Earrings

This Sleeping Beauty turquoise squash blossom necklace uses traditional Sterling silver bench beads and is finished with a hook and eye. The naja is 2.25 inches tall and this squash has a 27 inch necklace. The earrings drop 1.75 inches off posts. This wonderful set was created by an unknown Zuni artist. This set was much-loved by the original owner which is why some of the stones are greener than others. She would remove one earring when she answered the telephone (they were screw back earrings) and she got perfume and skin oils on the necklace.
