Necklace, Squash Blossom, Turquoise, Inlaid in the Dishta Family Style, Vintage, 3814

JUST… WOW.

We’ve been doing this a while, so it takes a lot to stop us in our tracks, but this squash blossom definitely did. This vintage statement squash blossom necklace features uniform lapidary work across its dozen turquoise-embellished blossoms and large naja. The piece isn’t hallmarked, but it’s clearly in the style of the renowned Dishta family, with their flat inlay of 160 turquoise stones. An incredible find and a piece for the true collector – you’ll love it for life!
