Navajo Handmade Vintage Style Squash Blossom for Sale!
This is a new handmade sterling silver Squash Blossom done in the older vintage style, Pre 60’s. I hand formed and handmade each piece from poured sterling silver. Each piece, although it may look the same, upon close inspection you will notice it is different and unique. This adds to the beauty and spirit, unlike machine made beads or Najas. It was made in a good way and spirit. It has my hallmark, my last name “Twitchell” on the Naja and earrings.
I hand formed the Navajo Beads and they are approximately (2) 10.5mm, (58) 12mm, and each of the (14) Blossoms are about 1-3/4 inches long with 12 mm beads. The earrings are (2) 13mm by 1-5/8 inches long, not including the ear loops. The chain is 1.5mm sterling silver box with handmade clasp. I did purchase the chain… The total length is about 26-1/2 inches with the 2-inch extender. It could be worn as a 24” necklace to 26.5”.
The Naja has (3) Tyrone Turquoise cabochons that I purchased at the Tucson Gem show last year that is backed Tyrone mine in New Mexico. The Naja diameter is just shy of 2-7/8". With the earrings the total weight is about 193 grams. It took me a couple of months to make. Message me if you would have any questions or would like additional photos.
