    Description

    ANTIQUE ZUNI NATIVE AMERICAN SILVER & NEEDLEPOINT TURQUOISE SQUASH BLOSSOM NECKLACE -
    You are considering a beautiful Zuni Needlepoint Turquoise set necklace including ten stunning blossoms and a central Naja. Overall, I count an amazing 99 turquoise sets. The necklace also includes wonderful wire work and handmade silver beads. You are not looking at or considering a new necklace, but an spectacular antique piece of Native workmanship. This piece of jewelry had to be created by an expert, especially to place all the sets in perfect order. The result is a magnificent and impressive work of Zuni artistry. Good luck to my winner.
    Many of the artifacts I have posted on E-Bay were purchased around 40 - 45 years ago, but most are much older. The tarnish has never been touched, which gives you some indication of the age of this beautiful necklace. Elegantly, Masculine and Powerful is how I would describe this very old necklace. If you are looking for an investment, then you are looking at one right now. Good luck to my winning bidder.
    Be sure to check my other listings... as I will soon be posting a number of other Native American jewelry items as well as collectables in the coming weeks. I always combine items for saving on shipping when they can be shipped safely together. Please wait for my invoice with combined shipping costs.
    CONDITION:
    Please view my detailed photos for the actual condition and as part of my description. The necklace is in fine antique condition and has been restrung to support the weight while wearing. The strong and simple clasp is in perfect working order. The piece has a rich natural patina and gorgeous matching turquoise sets. As mentioned above, I count 99 matching turquoise sets.
    The entire length of necklace portion without the Naja measures 22 inches or 11 inches folded in half. The central Naja adds 2 1/4 inches to the overall length. I guarantee you will not be disappointed, should you be the lucky winner. A copy of the postcard containing Pat Read will be included with the necklace as provenance to this piece. I will carefully box this item to the winning bidder by Priority Mail for FREE.
