WE’VE NEVER MET A SQUASH BLOSSOM WE DIDN’T LOVE, BUT THIS IS A BREATHTAKING BEAUTY.
This stunning squash blossom is a mid-20th century vintage creation by renowned Zuni jewelry artisan Dan Simplicio, a name you’ve likely heard if you’ve been a fan of DDR or the southwestern jewelry scene for long. It’s designed with a double strand of sterling silver beads supporting twelve blossoms set with beautifully-hued turquoise, and finished with a matching turquoise-set naja. A striking statement piece with impressive intricate silver details. Classic and collectible. Remember: It’s not a splurge if it’s an investment!
