"PP" Patricia Paterson Green Turquoise & Sterling Silver Squash Blossom Set With Necklace, Earrings, Size 8.5 Ring & Cuff

A remarkable collector’s set showcasing green turquoise and substantial sterling silver craftsmanship, this squash blossom collection includes a statement necklace, coordinating cuff bracelet, earrings, and ring. Each piece carries the same distinctive design language, creating an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully matched suite rather than an individual piece.

The collection is signed “PP,” believed to be the work of Patricia Patero. Because the hallmark has not been independently authenticated, the artist attribution is presented as believed rather than definitive.

The centerpiece is the monumental squash blossom necklace, weighing an impressive 256.11 grams and measuring approximately 26 inches long. A double strand of sterling silver beads leads into a series of large green turquoise cabochons, each surrounded by twisted-wire detailing and traditional silver blossoms. The stones range from pale sage and olive to richer shades of green, with natural matrix and variation that make every setting completely individual.

Suspended at the center is an extraordinary 4” × 4” naja, composed of an impressive arrangement of green turquoise stones. Its open crescent silhouette and substantial scale give the necklace incredible presence while allowing the individual stones and silverwork to remain the focus.

Accompanying the necklace is a matching 47.33-gram sterling silver cuff, a pair of coordinating 14.82-gram earrings, and a 13.21-gram ring. Together, the four pieces create a cohesive collection with a combined weight of approximately 331.47 grams.

Rather than the more commonly encountered bright blue palette, these stones display an earthy spectrum of sage, moss, olive, and apple green, giving the entire suite a beautifully organic Southwestern presence.

For the serious collector, finding a substantial squash blossom necklace with its coordinating pieces still together is particularly special. At more than 331 grams combined, this is an impressive collection of sterling silver and turquoise that can be worn as a complete statement suite or styled individually.

One of a kind and collector worthy—a spectacular example of Southwestern silverwork centered around an unforgettable collection of green turquoise.
