Navajo (Dine') 5-Stone Squash Blossom Necklace signed ORH
Circa 1960–1980. This striking Navajo (Diné) squash blossom necklace is signed ORH, a hallmark not widely documented but clearly stamped by the artist, adding rarity and value. The necklace features double strands of sterling silver beads leading to a large naja pendant, accented with five elongated turquoise cabochons in a vibrant sky-blue hue reminiscent of Arizona’s Sleeping Beauty mine. Each stone is framed with traditional Navajo appliqué—sterling leaves, raindrops, and hand-cut bezels—showcasing the silversmith’s careful attention to balance and detail. Unlike many mid-century squash blossoms that were left unsigned, this necklace bears a distinct hallmark. Its signed provenance, vintage era, and classic turquoise-and-silver construction make it a highly collectible piece of Native American jewelry history.
