These are both family heirlooms...I would just like to know the value of the items. The watch was my dad's, he was born in 1928 and died in 1978. I am not sure how old the watch is though. The necklace was my great grandmother's who was born in 1896, again I do not know how old the necklace is. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated.

You have a very nice Squash Blossom necklace there.I would bet that each peace is habd made.I have one from my late mother. She bought it in WindowRock,AZ back in the 1970's it is called sandcast,very heavy.You would have to go on the web and see what they run today in cost. I do recall my mother paying 2500. for hers,but that was back in the 70's. Somewhere on the back should have a name that is scrached in. I also know they are a nightmare to clean being silver.
