Est Value $8500.00 Measures Approx: 39" Weighs Approx: 538.6g This extraordinary squash blossom necklace is a massive, gallery-worthy creation by Navajo silversmith G. James, fully hallmarked on the reverse. The scale, color, and craftsmanship make it a true statement piece.   Set with vibrant orange spiny oyster accented by deep purple spiny oyster, each blossom is surrounded by beautifully hand-set stones that create incredible dimension and color contrast. The workmanship is impeccable — every bezel is clean, every blossom perfectly framed, and the overall layout is balanced and powerful.   The necklace features heavy sterling silver Navajo pearls, adding to both its weight and its traditional presence. The matching earrings complete the set, making the entire ensemble a rare find in today’s market.   With silver prices climbing and the cost of labor increasing for handmade Navajo work, pieces of this size and complexity are becoming increasingly scarce. This is the kind of squash blossom that anchors a collection — bold, artistic, and undeniably show-stopping.   A museum-caliber Navajo necklace for the collector who loves big stones, big silver, and big impact.
