A BOLD STATEMENT OF COLOR

This outstanding squash blossom necklace will add an edge to your wardrobe. This piece was crafted by Linda Yazzie who has continued her family talents of silver work. It features ten blossoms of varying shades of bright orange spiny oyster detailed with sterling silver drops and sunbursts. This attention-getting necklace is highlighted with an outstanding seven stone naja of matching orange spiny oyster stones with a single dangling stone dead center. Each of the stones are set in sterling silver and framed in fine ropework, all strung on a double strand of desert pearls. A matching pair of post back earrings mimic the blossoms all the way down to the sterling silver details. This bright bold statement duo is something that will add the perfect pop of color to your collection.
