Vintage Sterling Silver Squash Blossom Navajo Natural Red Coral Necklace

This striking vintage necklace from the 1950s is crafted from vibrant red branch coral-an authentic piece of Navajo jewelry tradition. The natural coral branches reach lengths of up to 45 mm and give the necklace its vibrant, organic appeal. The longer length makes it's comfortable to wear and a real eye-catcher. The rich red of the Sardinian coral is typical of high-quality Mediterranean coral and underscores the natural beauty of this piece of jewelry. Weighing 127 grams, it feels substantial and substantial on the neck. An impressive piece of jewelry in the style of Southwest American Navajo art: This magnificent Squash Blossom necklace dates from around 1950 and is a true collector's item. Crafted from solid sterling silver and set with a total of 20 vibrant red coral cabochons—6 on each side of the chain and 8 in the large naja center appliqué-this necklace impresses with its powerful presence and high craftsmanship. The silver has been expertly tested. The absence of a hallmark is not uncommon for authentic, handcrafted jewelry of this period and origin - especially for Native American pieces from the 1940s to 1960s. At 4.4 ounces, this necklace is generously sized and a real statement - powerful, elegant and timeless.
