Necklace, Squash Blossom & Earrings, Turquoise, Flush Mount, Dishta Family, Vintage, 1528

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 jaw-dropping uniformity in the lapidary work on its dozen turquoise-embellished blossoms and large naja. Even better – it’s accompanied by a pair of matching squash blossom earrings. The piece isn’t hallmarked, but it’s definitely in the style of the renowned Dishta family. An incredible find and a piece for the true collector – you’ll love it for life!
