Rare Vintage Turquoise Sterling Silver Handcraft Squash Blossom Station Necklace

I bought this necklace from the original owner, and have yet to wear it. She estimated it to have been made in the 1980’s. Although, given the RARE completely handmade silver beads used throughout this necklacee, it could have been created anywhere between the 1970’s – 1990’s. It is a true vintage Native American necklace. The original owner was told it is a Royston turquoise piece, which means, this is likely RARE, old mined Royston, with a deeper color, and characteristic color mix. It is predominantly green turquoise with some blue, and a rich, warm brown matrix. As is common with vintage works, it has no signature, but has been acid tested throughout, and is solid sterling silver. It does have the number “85” etched on the back side of the center piece, which could indicate the year it was made/completed. This piece has 2 full strands of beautiful, RARE, ENTIRELY handcraft Navajo pearls, with middle solder seams, and the genre correct hook and eye clasp. It is strung on the characteristic silver foxtail – a special type of braided cord unique to Native American squash blossom and station necklaces. Total necklace length is 20 plus another half inch for the clasp. Center stone piece is 1.5″ tall by 1.25″ wide. Stones are graduated, and decrease in size as you move toward the ends of the necklace, the smallest ones measuring 1″x1″. There are 7 turquoise cabochons set in thicker guage silver. The total weight is 114.8 grams. Please message any questions. I’ve done my very best to present this piece accurately. Please look at ALL the pictures, they are part of the description, as this is a vintage piece. All reasonable offers will be considered. This necklace contains it’s patina. It has been stored in a box lined with silver cloth, but has not been polished. Patina adds value to Native American vintage pieces.

ZUNI Carlene Leekity BALD EAGLE Squash Blossom Necklace Sterling EXTREMELY RARE

UPDATE: 9/13/20 – An expert in authentic Native American Indian jewelry notified me that this is EXTREMELY RARE and that possibly the only Bald Eagle Carlene made. Unfortunately, Carlene died so there is no way to verify this with her. ZUNI Native American Indian BALD EAGLE Squash Blossom Necklace. There are no “blossoms” but this is considered that type of necklace by some Native American Indian collectors. Handmade by Zuni Native American Indian artist CARLENE LEEKITY (Carlene died in 2014 – some obituaries say 2013 – but she is no longer living). Hallmarked: Carlene Leekity, Zuni Guaranteed AUTHENTIC vintage Carlene Leekity necklace. Carlene also hallmarked this 10-4-90 (which I presume is the date she completed this set – authentic Carlene pieces have what appears to be a date). 100% STERLING SILVER guaranteed. Sterling silver is tarnishing which is “natural” for sterling silver items due to “oxidation” from being exposed to the air thru time. Genuine natural stones: turquoise, red coral, abalone, mother-of-pearl seashell stones and black jet jet is fossilized tree material that is millions of years old (similar to amber only BLACK in color). There may be some other stones I forgot to mention (please see photos). Condition: VINTAGE but, remarkably, there are no missing stones, no damaged stones, no cracked stones. Appears in excellent condition, however, the sterling silver is tarnishing from age. 28 clasp to clasp around the neck. This is a big, bold and beautiful necklace. EXTREMELY RARE Bald Eagle. I offer generous 30 day RESERVES. I will reserve an item for you for up to 30 DAYS. I offer a 14 day SATISFACTION: GUARANTEED policy. Thank you for your understanding. Inventory # elvis (in closet).

RAREOld PawnNATIVE AMERICANNavajoSquash Blossom NecklaceSTERLING 138grams

RAREVINTAGENATIVE AMERICANNavajoSquash Blossom NecklaceSTERLING. This is rare to see nine najas. I have had squash blossoms with the usual turquoise and wanted one that would be more unique. I also could wear it and not be concerned if it matched what I was wearing. I waited patiently for a couple years and found this masterpiece. It is unsigned as it was made early 1900s, before traders and tourists desired marks such as 925 and Sterling. I will be listing more amazing Native American pieces so please stop in again. Natives only began using silver when introduced to it by Europeans in the 1800s. Originally they actually melted the US silver dollar to design their amazing crafts such as the squash blossom necklace. Ive always loved their process of sand casting. This necklace is an excellent example. 28 3/4 long from each clasp. Center naja approximately 3. Surrounding Najas approximately 1 1/4. Weight is as pictured. I have not polished and leave the patina on. Please review pictures for details. Feel free to ask questions and make offer as I might accept a decent one. Thank you for stopping by.
