VINTAGE FIFTEEN STRAND MEDITERRANEAN OXBLOOD CORAL NECKLACE
Pat Read was a trader that had Native American shops in Taos, New Mexico and Albuquerque’s old town in the 1950-60 era. On some time line he purchased this fine coral ceremonial necklace and decided to collect it. We suspect he had never encountered one so fine as most corals sold in the Southwest in this era was of secondary quality. The 15 strands adorning this necklace however were top quality natural gem grade oxblood. Like wise the Pueblo jeweler who put it together was affluent and skilled. He made small sterling silver droplets and tubes to randomly insert adding incidentals to enhance the beauty of the piece.

VINTAGE ZUNI BLUE GEM TURQUOISE SQUASH BLOSSOM NECKLACE AND EARRINGS
This is a 1950-60 museum quality Zuni squash blossom necklace by Leonard ( 1923-1992) and Lula (1930-2004) Weebothee. The piece was gifted from well known trader Pat Read to his daughter and passed down through the family. We date the necklace by its turquoise, fine gem grade natural Blue Gem from the Blue Gem lease mine located near Battle Mountain, Nevada. This mine played out in the early 1970s but was available during the time the necklace was made. The quality of the silver work is also extraordinary, some of the finest Native American jewelry originated at Zuni Pueblo. This necklace ranks with the very best.
