I found this earlier this year at a construction site where we have pulled Seated's back to 1857 and lots of later 1800's coins. I believe it is called a Naja from a Navajo Squash Blossom necklace. My question is the age. I find no marks stamped on it and it tests to be silver. Any idea how I can tell the approximant age? They've been making these from the 1880's to the present. Attached is an example of one from the 1920's

It does not HAVE to be marked to be silver . Much of the older silver jewelry is not marked. I would estimate it to be approximately early 1900's as well. GREAT find
