    The necklace you are describing is called a squash blossom necklace.
    The price depends on the quality of work, as well as the quality of
    turquoise. Were all the beads handmade and not mass produced bench
    beads? Are the other components fabricated from wire or cast? Is the
    turquoise stabilized or a nice natural Bisbee spiderweb? In the 70's,
    I sold in this size from several hundred dollars to $2000-$5000 USD.
    The several hundred dollar version had stabilized Kingman turquoise,
    mass produced beads, cast components, etc. I suggest you contact
    either Indian Jewelers Supply (Phil Woodward has been a collector for
    many years) or Thundbird Jewelry Supply, both out of Gallup, NM, USA.
