This is a vintage estate Navajo kachina squash blossom necklace made of sterling silver. The silver has a dark natural patina over it that can be polished off. The naja pendant is 2″ x 2″ and set with the same chip turquoise & coral inlay as the kachinas. The kachinas measures 1 1/4″ long x 1″ wide. The bench beads are 7.7mm size. The back of the naja pendant is signed AJ. Possibly Andrew Johnson, but not certain about it. Total weight of the necklace is 85.9dwt/133.6grams.
This jewelry is not pre-owned, which also means that it is not used. It is new, but may look pre-owned because of the natural toning/patina it has taken on in storage in the last 16 years. It is normal for silver to take on a color after being exposed to the air for some time. Rather than take all the time to polish it up, since we have so much, we are just leaving it as untouched nostalgia. The buyer can decide if they would like to polish it up. Some of it actually has the old black magic marker pricing written on the underside still.
We bought a large collection of beautiful Native American jewelry from a client who’s family had owned a retail shop for Native American made goods. Both our client & his family shared such a love for this stuff! It had spent 16 years in storage before we acquired the entire collection. So, there’s the story about this fabulous collection. We hope you enjoy looking at the many pieces of it. It truly is amazing!
