Southwestern Navajo Royston turquoise sterling silver squash blossom necklace, unmarked. This gorgeous necklace showcases 16 high-grade Royston turquoise stones. The 6-stone naja is about 3 1/8″ tall by 2 7/8″ wide, with its larger, center stone measuring 1″ in height by 7/8″ in width, from bezel to bezel.

All the cabochons are set in smooth bezels wrapped in twisted wire, and framed by a simple, yet elegant filed border.
