Description
 
This beautifully crafted Zuni squash blossom necklace was hand fabricated by renowned Zuni silversmiths, Warren and Doris Ondelacy. It is set with 195 hand cut natural Bisbee turquoise cabochons that are carefully set in fine hand crafted bezels. The Naja measures 2 3/4" wide by 3 1/2" long. The necklace measures 30" long and features 12 cluster squash blossoms, strung with hand made hogan beads. This necklace dated to the early 1940's and does not have a maker's mark--being of a time when such things were not commonly done. This necklace has been strung on two different materials, black string and also fox tail. We have left the necklace as the previous owner had it, but would be happy to re-string it on up dated materials, at no extra cost. Please visit our artist biographies for more history on the Ondelacy family.
