Petite Coral squash blossom necklace

I bought this cute little squash blossom many years ago and seldom wore it. Recently uncovered it and would like to find out more about it. It is 22” long and weighs 56g. The naja is roughly 2” by 2” and the beads are about 1/4” in wide. It is strung on what appears to be some type of cord -not sinew. No marks. The coral cabachons are roughly 3/8” by 1/4”.
Does anyone have any idea of age and value? I purchased it from an antique and vintage site so it should have some age.

Thanks for your help!

I would call this 1970s. Had someone in the other day with coral and it seems to be going around $7 a carat for something in this size. It seems like those stones would be between 1.5 - 2 carats. Lots of squash blossoms that have this look were made during the Native American jewelry boom. I would say $600 - $750.

I know coral has become quite expensive. I saw a single strand of small pink stones for over $400 recently. However, your appraisal value was a very pleasant surprise! Thanks very much!
