Old Pawn Sand Cast Navajo (Dine') Squash Blossom Necklace with Turquoise

This fabulous Old Pawn sand cast squash blossom necklace showcases freeform turquoise stones bezel-set in sterling silver. Crafted before the tourist boom, Old Pawn jewelry reflects a time when Native artisans created pieces for personal or ceremonial use, deeply rooted in tribal tradition. These rare treasures, often passed down through generations, are increasingly difficult to find. Dating from the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s, each piece carries a story, rich with history, heritage, and handmade artistry.
