AGE OR ERA: True antique / vintage jewelry piece - guessing 1930's 1940's 1950's in age - The heyday of the Fred Harvey and Route 66 eras in the American Southwest MARKINGS: None that I could find METAL/MATERIAL: Entirely non-magnetic metal - assuming sterling silver 925 grade, and free form polished turquoise gemstone that I believe to be of the Fox variety CLASP / CLOSURE: Double or figure 8 handmade loop to place the hook - makes this every so slightly adjustable by about 3/8" span depending on which circle you choose. MEASUREMENTS: Aprox 16 1/2" of wearable length - one loop would make it slightly shorter and the other slightly longer (span of 3/8" between the two) - not including the pendant drop. The squash blossom pendant is about 1 3/4" long x 1" wide and adds about 1 3/4" in visual length. WEIGHT: 23.2 grams on my scale TESTING: x U.S. RING SIZE: x HISTORY, PROVENANCE, ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, SYMBOLISM &/or LORE: The term “Squash Blossom” refers to the unique, integral flared bead that resembles the blossom of a flowering squash plant. There may not be any other jewelry form more synonymous with Southwest Native American jewelry than the Squash Blossom Necklace. The history of this iconic necklace is a fascinating tale of the fusion of cultures and an enduring fashion statement across generations. The "Squash Blossom Necklace" form has been interpreted differently by each individual artist and has taken many general forms and variations over the centuries.
