This is an incredible sterling silver showstopper squash blossom necklace by elite Navajo silversmith Tonya June Rafael, known for her meticulous craftsmanship and bold, traditionally inspired designs with a twist. The necklace is a masterpiece of Southwest artistry, featuring elaborate turquoise cluster work on the naja and eight large blossoms, each set with individually bezel set stones that appear to be Morenci turquoise, many with visible pyrite. Dotted borders, graceful curly ques, and domed raindrops enhance the texture and drama of the design. Handmade 8mm saucer beads and 31mm cylinders frame the piece, and a large decorative hook and eye closure finishes it off with flair. The necklace is strung on link chain for strength and flexibility, and the back of the naja and blossoms showcase charming starburst stampwork. The right back of the naja and each cylinder are stamped Tonya J Rafael NAVAJO © STERLING, marking this as an exceptional collectible by a top-tier Native American artist.
