## Description

WE ALL NEED A FEW FASHION FORMULAS IN OUR BACK POCKET FOR THOSE NOTHING-TO-WEAR DAYS. TRIED AND TESTED, THE SQUASH BLOSSOM NECKLACE IS A SUREFIRE WINNER NO MATTER WHAT YOUR STYLE. This outstanding vintage squash blossom necklace and matching earrings is the work of a highly-revered Navajo jewelry artisan, the late Fred Thompson, so needless to say, this is a piece for the true collector -- and it is a statement piece! The double-strand of desert pearls features a whopping 20 gradient squash blossoms, affixed with spacers, each containing an oval turquoise cabochon set in a simple bezel and frame, accented by sterling silver drops and shell-stamped tips. The silver naja contains 12 smaller oval stones anchored by a matching blossom dangle. It’s a vibrant statement piece. Wear it with jeans and a tee or dress it up for the office - a classic squash blossom necklace is always in style. Fred Thompson (1921 - 2002; Navajo). Active 1936-1990s. Traditional, multiple styles. Cast work; stamp work; heavy pieces; channel inlay; chip inlay; turquoise, coral; stone sets. Made his own stamps. Silversmith for Tobe Turpen’s Indian Trading Company beginning in 1936 and perhaps Borrego Pass Trading Post . He may have collaborated with Leekya Deyues and with Mary Morgan (who also worked for Tobe Turpen Trading Post ). He also operated his own shop in Church Rock, NM. Marks: FRED THOMPSON; a tilde mark ( may also be marked for Tobe Turpen’s Indian Trading Company.)
