@Malf1976 Hi & Welcome. That’s a good looking squash blossom necklace. What questions do you have about this necklace? What kind of information are you looking for? Off-the-cuff, I have 2 questions: 1) Are there any seams on the sterling beads? Not easy to determine from the photos and, 2) Are there 3 or 4 petals on the large blossoms? Thanks.

Interesting piece. First impression is that this is a manufactured piece with lost wax cast stations, naja, and blossoms fabricated from machine made beads. It appears to be inlaid with genuine turquoise cut to fit the pre cast settings. Overall it’s very attractive, and appears designed to appeal to Fred Harvey era tastes, but is likely much more recently manufactured and not from that era.
