Old pawn jewelry for the most part was made by the Native American peoples back in the day primarily for themselves and for their families particularly for personal use and to be used and traded to reservation trading posts as collateral for items they needed or payment for items they wanted that came from the outside world. Then when their crops or farm animals, chickens, sheep, goats, cattle, horses, were grown, raised, and sold, they would likely return to the trading posts and provide financial restitution to the trading post owner to reclaim their treasured pieces that they had left earlier as collateral for loans. Sometimes, however, the pawn jewelry was relinquished by the families, because they did not have the funds to reclaim their jewelry and then after a period of time, these prized pieces, such as the beautiful squash blossom and ring offered being offered today would become available for sale to third parties.I offer from my private 40+ year collection this gorgeous HUGE 7.35OZTW CEREMONIAL c. 26"L VINTAGE NAVAJO VERY HIGH TO GEM GRADE BLUE BISBEE TURQUOISE AND STERLING SILVER BENCH BEAD SQUASH BLOSSOM NECKLACE; EXTRA LARGE; HEAVY; NATURAL; RARE; BLUE; EXTINCT "BISBEE MINE TURQUOISE"; SUBSTANTIAL SIZE AND WEIGHT: 7.35OZTW (134GRTW).

This set has an astonishing SEVENTEEN perfectly matched very high to gem grade natural Blue Bisbee turquoise cabochons that were used to create this super rare heavy gauge, single and double stranded bench bead squash blossom necklace and ring set. The necklace was most likely made in the latter 1960s prior to the Dodge Phelps Copper mine closing circa 1975. Today, due to the scarcity of these Quality Bisbee Turquoise Stones; this set would probably not be able to be made.
