Stunning, beautiful Coral and Mother of Pearl Squash Blossom with silver bracelet and watchband, each with 3 rows of coral. This set of Coral and Mother of Pearl and Coral bracelets is worthy of the double take differing from the more common Turquoise Squash Blossom necklaces. The contrast of red and white makes this a unique addition to one’s collection of Native American arts and crafts, especially if red is your favorite color!
This large Bisbee turquoise bola tie is a great match with the Bisbee turquoise squash blossom. The two together make for a stunning and beautiful pair for the night out on the town.
The sterling silver and large Bisbee turquoise piece has a nice weight to it, being some 3 1/2″ x 2″, including 2 1/2″ – 3″ silver tips. By the end of the month, we’ll have sharper images of the front, back, markings and thickness of the silver. A bola tie with this perfect sized and high quality turquoise, yet not too large/heavy, is a rare, rare find.
For those that love the Native American squash blossom necklaces, bracelets and rings there are several stunning, gorgeous pieces to describe and make available. These pieces were purchased in the early 70’s to mid 80’s and all appraised in 2005. The photos will be updated to provide more visual clarity, but this will give you an idea of the jewelry. There are a couple squash blossom necklaces, multi-strand heishe and fetish necklaces, bracelets, rings, and a couple of bola ties all in the Navajo, Zuni and Hopi traditions. Turquoise is the most prominent from mines in Bisbee and Kingman. There is coral, mother of pearl, and intricate inlays of turquoise, coral (red), mother of pearl (white), jet (black) and tortoise shell (brown).
The following is the beautiful Bisbee turquoise squash blossom with turquoise ring. To give you an idea of this specific squash blossom necklace, from the tip to the top blossoms is approximately 10″. The sterling silver at the bottom is some 2″ x 2″ and the average size of the blossom nuggets, bit larger at the bottom to a bit smaller at neck line, are some 1/2″ in size. And again, a better photo detailing the intricate silver and stone work will be available by the end of the month.
