There are acouple artists using the quarter moon hallmark, but not with the H. The H is not a typical style, which should help. But no luck so far!
Can you please post pictures of the entire squash blossom; I’d love to see it!

My mistake- I confused this necklace with another item! It is not a squash blossom necklace, but features a 30" round and feather-shaped bead chain and large turquoise (possibly Morenci? It has pyrite flecks) pendant. Here is a photo of the full necklace:
Kingman is also well known for having pyrite (I even have a piece of SB with a little bit of pyrite), and Kingman is a MUCH more common turquoise. So with unidentified turquoise it’s more likely Kingman, but without provenance it’s never a sure thing. Is the stone really that color? There’s something about the leaves that seems… different. Wondering if this is possibly not Native American made.
unless the color in your photo is off, that looks like Lapis, not turquoise. It can also have metallic flecks in it.
