Lot of Sterling Silver and Turquoise Jewelry

1) Sterling and Turquoise Navajo Squash Blossom Necklace with Earring Pendant. The 24 inch modern made squash blossom necklace is constructed with 5-16 inch silver beads in two rows except at the clasp. The ten blossoms are 1 inch long, 1-3/4 inches including the leaves, and have turquoise cabochon stones with much matrix averaging 3/4 inch long bezel set in leaves and buds. Hook and eye style closure with clear plastic reinforced fine gauge wire. The pendant is set with seven matching 3/4 inch stones. The pendant is signed "JR". It comes with a pair of earrings pendants, but no findings. The name has not been researched but the style appears to be circa 1960. 2) Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Nugget Necklace and Old Pawn Sterling Silver And Turquoise Navajo Cuff Bracelet. Modern necklace is 17 inches long including hook and eye closure. There are 25 irregularly shaped, but polished turquoise stones, some of which appear to have traces of silver in them. The center stone is the largest and appears to be somewhat heart shaped. The stones are threaded over a clear plastic reinforced jewelry wire which is flanked on either side by a sterling silver bead and silver findings. A lovely choker-length necklace with character. 2) Bracelet measures 2-7/8 inches at widest part, 2 inches from top of stones to bottom of cuff, the sides are 3/8 inch wide, and the wide portion on top where the stones are set is 7/8 inch. There are two dewdrop-shaped cabochon turquoise stones bezel set next to one another, the right being larger (3/4 inch long) than the left (1/2 long). The entire bracelet is formed around a rope wire and is stamped with rope and scallop designs and a sunburst design on either side of the center stones. Inside it is stamped and signed, "Sterling/ DC". Rope wire and the channel around it may have had.

Condition1) Excellent. Silver is bright and clean. The green-blue stones with brown mineral veins are set tightly, but the last stone on the far right of the pendant has apparently been cracked in half at one point and re-set. Earring pendants are also excellent. 2) Excellent. Stone choice and placement are desirable features. Findings are high quality. The bracelet is fine overall. The stones are very good as roughly cabbed. The silver is worn off in many areas, particularly on the mountings, the base of the bracelet, and on the inside of the bracelet, where there is a brown and green patina. Each arm of the cuff appears to have had silver filled in or patched at a later time, possibly to keep the center rope wire in place. A charming little cuff.
