zz*Dead Pawn~Necklace~Zuni Silver Petit Point Turquoise Squash Blossom

Unknown Zuni Artist
Length: 25 inches in length
Weight: 142 grams

$ 569.99     SOLD     Back


This is a fabulous old dead pawn squash blossom necklace that we got on our last pawn hunting trip. The 3 inch high by 2 and 1/2 inch wide naja has 43 teardrop shaped and 16 round shaped Sleeping Beauty turquoise stones that are separated by silver raindrop beads on the outer and inner edges. The space between the rows of stones are decorated with twisted rope designs and a strip of applied silver.

There are 6 blossoms on each side of the naja, each with 13 stones. (that's a total of 137 stones) The traditional necklace is of handmade silver bench beads... a double strand where the blossoms attach to it... and then the strands join into a single strand to the ends of the hook and eye clasp. It's 25 inches in length, and weighs a substantial 142 grams on our postal scale. The word sterling is hand etched on the back of the naja and there is also a B under it which is probably the maker's hallmark. This vintage, dead pawn, collectible showpiece is in excellent condition for it's age and travels.


THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY...WE HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. WE'RE ALWAYS ADDING NEW AND UNUSUAL PIECES TO OUR STORE INVENTORY, SO BOOKMARK US AND CHECK BACK OFTEN.
