Aaron Toadlena-Magnificent Coral Squash Blossom-WoW

Navajo silversmith Aaron Toadlena made this magnificent squash blossom necklace. The first difficult task is to find the thirty-five pieces of Mediterranean Coral stones that match perfectly in color and shape. Aaron surrounds each spectacular red rock with twisted wire, and a combination of silver drops and styled beads. He has made the necklace in a traditional squash blossom style, strung on beautiful sterling silver beads. Maybe the most impressive thing about the necklace is the cluster naja. Fifteen pieces of coral go from one end to the other, set on two heavy triangle wires. In the center of the Naja, Aaron has dropped two marvelous pieces of coral. Everything about this necklace works, perfect silver and stone, made by one of today’s masters.
