Up for your consideration is this top quality brand new Native American ~ Navajo ~ handcrafted sterling silver and genuine Sleeping Beauty turquoise Kachina squash blossom necklace. Doris does not make these kachina squash blossom necklaces very often anymore, so they are becoming more and more difficult to obtain. You might never see another like this one, so do not miss the opportunity to own a very special piece of Navajo one-of-a-kind wearable art.
The necklace is double stranded with handmade silver beads and 11 hand made kachinas. Each Kachina has been decorated with rattles, feathers, traditional dress, turquoise eyes, mouth, and a stunning turquoise headdress. The genuine Sleeping Beauty turquoise stones are a bright turquoise color, with black and silver matrix and are well-matched in color. The center kachina is 3 long while the kachinas on the sides are 2-3/8 long.
* 27 long from hook-end to eye-end
* 15 hang from the neck to bottom of center kachina
* Side Kachinas: 2-3/8 long
