Southwestern Style Faux-Turquoise Squash Blossom Pendant Necklace

This piece is a contemporary costume jewelry necklace designed in a Southwestern or Western 'Boho' style. The focal point is a large horseshoe-shaped Naja pendant, which is traditionally the centerpiece of a squash blossom necklace. The pendant features ten synthetic blue turquoise stones, likely made of dyed howlite or plastic, which exhibit a uniform 'matrix' pattern intended to mimic natural stone. These cabochons are set in a copper-toned or antiqued bronze base metal. Small decorative metal beads, known as 'navajo pearls' or silver-style droplets in this aesthetic, are placed between the outer edges of the stones. The pendant is suspended from a long, matching copper-finished cable chain with a lobster claw clasp. Regarding condition, the metal shows a consistent antiqued patina which appears to be a manufactured finish rather than natural oxidation. There are no visible chips to the faux-stones, though the overall craftsmanship suggests mass production rather than artisan-made silversmithing. It lacks maker's marks or hallmarks, typical for 21st-century fashion jewelry. The scale is substantial, intended as a statement accessory.
