Hand-made with the finest Bisbee Turquoise and Sterling Silver, this necklace will be a treasured work of Art for its new owner for years to come. This piece was hand-made by Navajo Artist, Robert Haley. This isnt your average everyday Squash Blossom Necklace. Its design and shape is unique, setting it apart from others. Its also very well made with heavy gauge sterling silver and some of the most beautiful Bisbee Turquoise available on the market. The stones are all original and in MINT condition as they sit inside saw tooth bezels. All of the 18 stones used in this necklace are different and unique in their own way with some having more of the desired black matrix than others. The blue color of the stones are bold and vividly stunning… I honestly cant say enough about them. The Naja is what sets this necklace apart from others. Its unique design and shape is not as common in other pieces. Each tip of the Naja holds a perfectly rounded stone that protrudes from its setting. 4 larger stones are symmetrically set near the top of the Naja over an unusual shaped bed of silver. Haley applied hand stampings, classic Navajo leaf appliqués, and silver raindrops with sunburst stamps to accompany the stones. The 12 squash blossoms are just as beautiful and coincide perfectly with the Naja. Each blossom consists of one stone surrounded by thick silver works of hand stampings and raindrops with sunbursts. Haley also constructed his blossoms with 4 petals instead of the typical 3 petal blossom, also setting this piece apart from the rest. The stones used in the blossoms near the Naja are the largest and graduate to smaller stones as they go up towards the clasp. It just so happens that the stones closest to the clasp are the same size and shape as the stones used at the tips of the Naja. Small details like this truly make a difference when looking at the piece as a whole. Haleys work is impeccable and it shows. The hand-made bench beads are in great condition with no dents and are strung on a thick and sturdy chain. This necklace is somewhat heavy and Begay made sure to use a strong chain to support it. The hook and eye clasp is also of higher quality. This item has not been cleaned or polished. It has been left in its original state. One of the best attributes of this necklace is its size…. Its large enough to make a bold statement yet, not overly sized to where its gaudy and uncomfortable to wear around the neck…. Its the perfect size and weight for actual wear. This work of Art by Haley is a masterpiece, one that will last for years and be handed down for generations. Be the new owner of this stunning piece, cherish and enjoy it for now…. Hand it down to loved ones in the future. I will entertain reasonable offers…. Lets make a deal! Weight – 179 Grams / 6.3 oz. Length from end to end – 26.5 (30 including Naja).
