Vintage Pewter Turquoise Needlepoint Squash Blossom Naja Necklace

This vintage pewter squash blossom necklace is set with turquoise needlepoint stones in the detailed traditional Southwestern style, with the Naja pendant hanging at the center and six matching blossoms strung along hand-strung metal beads. The turquoise carries its natural matrix, so every single stone reads a little differently and the whole necklace comes alive instead of looking machine-matched. It is believed to date to the 1960s or 1970s. Wear it over a plain black dress and you will be the talk of the party. This necklace measures approximately 28 inches long, the Naja is 2-1/4 in. wide x 2-1/2 in. tall, and it weighs approximately 164 g.

Sold as a vintage Southwestern-style piece; era and materials are described as believed and have not been independently certified.
