Frank Dishta Sr. ca.1925-1954 is best known for his exquisite channel inlay jewelry. He is one of the first jewelers to work for Trader C.G. Wallace, starting in the late 1920's.
This beautiful 1930's necklace is inlaid with 99 natural turquoise flat set stones, in a lovely design. The turquoise has a beautiful array of aged color change. Hand crafted link chain adds the final touch to this lovely piece. A wonderful patina graces the entire piece. The necklace measures, 14 3/4" long, which is fairly small. A silver extender for the length is available upon request. The 3 element measures 1 3/8" by 5/8".
Reference to similar work is found in the C.G. Wallace 1975 auction catalog.
