This vintage squash features gorgeous untreated Lone Mountain Turquoise over a classic 3 petal squash design. The gem grade stones portray a high polished finish with pastel color hues of green too blue green with beautiful matrixes running throughout. Each bezeled stone rests over a thick bed of silver while surrounded by twisted rope followed by a flat edged lip of silver.
