I found a Squash Blossom Necklace in my mother’s jewelry box after she passed. Unfortunately one side is missing silver beads and there are no markings whatsoever. Hoping some one may be able to help identifying I believe turquoise is real and silver tests as real.

@disturbedangel66 Hi & Welcome. That’s a pretty squash blossom necklace. It’s in a popular style perhaps from the 1980s - later. Any idea when your Mother acquired the necklace or from where? They look like bench beads, imo (not handmade). As far as the turquoise, without provenance, it’s only a guess as to the type of turquoise or mine. My guess would be possibly Kingman turquoise. That mine is still active and has been a prolific producer of turquoise.

Thank you so much! I unfortunately do not know when she may have purchased it or where, but do know she took a trip out west in the 1980s.
