I would love to know how old my squash blossom is! What do you think?

Welcome to turquoise people. You have a beautiful piece here. Everything is a guess when you don’t have any facts. We think of late 1800s/early 1900s maybe being a sandcas naja because it is easier to make than the soldering technology at that time. Pre-World War II we think of coins/hammered ingots and after World War II with think more sheet silver. This is very general, but a good place to start. Your naja is not sandcast, yours is a soldered naja using some sheet and wires. However, it looks like it is hammered. The beads and blossoms are beautiful. The only thing that looks like it doesn’t match is possibly the stone. My guess is 1940s.
