Vintage old pawn squash blossom turquoise Navajo sterling necklace

My grandmother bought this stunning vintage squash blossom turquoise Navajo necklace in the 1940s in Arizona on the side of the road. There are no markings on it which is common for early pawn.

From our testing it is at least coin silver. The turquoise is colored from light green to light blue. Beautifully hand stamped and hand made. There are 20 squash blossoms on two strands of silver beads strung on finely woven silver chain. Weight is 4.4 ounces.

One of the blossoms is not open as shown in the last photo. The item "Vintage old pawn squash blossom turquoise Navajo sterling necklace" is in sale since Wednesday, August 4, 2021.
