Another Squash Blossom inquiry 😊

My mother has recently passed and she was into and has a lot of Native American jewelry. One of the items she had is this Doug Zachary Squash Blossom necklace. I don’t much about it other than she spent about $500 for it back in 1992 and it’s got his named stamped under the sterling stamp on the back of the necklace. Would anyone have any potential insight on the value of this piece? Thank you very much in advanced.

He is known for selling turquoise stones. Plus, he will also have some jewelry made. I am not sure if he makes the jewelry himself or has someone make it for his business. The stones are nice pieces of Chinese Turquoise and the style appears to have a Wilson Padilla inspired look. That wouldn’t be $500 in today’s market, possibly 5x to 6x.
