AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING SIMPLICIO SQUASH.
If you’ve been holding out for that really special squash blossom, you might’ve just met your match! This incredible vintage beauty is attributed to renowned and widely revered Zuni artisan Dan Simplicio. The double-strand of desert pearls is adorned with a dozen detailed blossoms each boasting a single turquoise cabochon in a serrated bezel framed with intricate silver work. The statement-sized naja features 14 turquoise stones in an ornate openwork arrangement. And as if you weren’t already swooning, it’s accompanied by a pair of complementing dangles.
