c1950s-1970s - Another beautiful vintage Navajo necklace with light blue turquoise cabochons showing reddish brown matrix, possibly from Bisbee. Stone settings are incised and scalloped and the side pieces have the traditional pomegranate flutes. There are five stones on each side and seven stones make up the naja. Hanging length is 15” A double row of smooth bench made beads strung on stainless steel chain. There is an artist’s mark on the reverse of the naja that looks like a “C.” The necklace has some “heft” to it, suggesting substantial amounts of silver. We are estimating that this necklace was made around 1960 when there was a virtual “explosion” of interest in Native American jewelry and many pieces were produced in the traditional silver and turquoise design.
