This is a very interesting squash blossom necklace, at least I think so with the round center naja. The design choice is pretty unusual and that is why I enjoy this form of jewelry so much. The piece is likely from the 1970s with fine hand made bench beads and the squash blossoms are thick and very very sturdy. The necklace is 27 inches long and weighs 144 grams, the blossoms are 1.5 inches each, the beads just under 1/2 inch. The center piece is 2.5 inches, clean stones with matrix. Hand signed, Nelson Monte Sr? Best I can tell. A fine looking necklace. I have 30+ years of experience. The free listing tool.
