Navajo Squash Blossom Necklace -c1920’s

New

The hand filed bales on these squash blossoms place this Navajo necklace early 1920’s as does the construction of the larger beads & naja. The beads are two different sizes, the smaller presumably added to lengthen the necklace. None the less we think the balance works perfectly between the blossoms and over all structure of the necklace.
