This elegant Squash Blossom necklace and earring set is inlaid with a vibrant blue turquoise, hand crafted by Zuni Artist Susie Lowsayatee. Each of the 12 blossoms has three inlay sections inside a teardrop shape setting accented with a sterling twist rope edge. The Naja is made from eight of the same setting. Hand strung by Susie with polished seamed sterling beads. This is a stunning statement piece, but is surprisingly lightweight for easy wear.
