c1950s-1970s - A third gorgeous vintage necklace, probably Navajo made, with slightly deeper blue stones than the previous necklace, and dark brown matrix throughout. These cabochons are oval in shape set in bezels surrounded by a twisted silver rope band. Each is set in a recessed oval of silver, suggesting the shape of a sombrero. There are five stones on each side, and each of these has a silver “pomegranate” flute. There are seven stones in the naja, the center one being considerably larger than its mates. A double row of smooth bench made beads forms the base, strung on stainless steel chain. Hanging length is 15.” Again, we date this c1960 when there was a proliferation in the production of this kind of necklace. This necklace also is hefty in weight. No maker’s mark.
