Jimmy Long Navajo turquoise vintage sterling silver squash blossom necklace with earrings set. Circa third quarter of the 20th century, tested and guaranteed solid sterling silver. No apparent issues. 27" long. Marked on back as being Lone Mountain turquoise, I‘m not sure if that was a later attribution or not. It is nice turquoise, but I‘m not sure it‘s Lone Mountain. I just noticed that these earrings are not an exact match, but both appear to be made by the same hand.
