Necklace, Squash Blossom, Turquoise, Beautifully Matched Stones, Don Lucas, Vintage ‘21, 3630
A jaw-dropping Don Lucas!
We spend a lot of time shopping southwestern jewelry and it’s not often that something stops us in our tracks, but this beauty by Don “Old Don” Lucas absolutely took our breath away! A Certified Gemologist, Don selects only the finest stones and is known for his bold, vibrant color combinations and expert eye for matching, which is certainly evident in this piece.
This gorgeous squash blossom features a naja highlighted with 14 stunning Sleeping Beauty turquoise cabochons, each resting in smooth silver bezels accented with silver drop details. The double strand of desert pearls is adorned with 30 spacer pendants, each showcasing a perfectly matched Sleeping Beauty turquoise cabochon. These stones are stunningly uniform in color and composition, making this piece almost mesmerizing. A gorgeous contemporary collector’s squash!
