One of the most important forms of Navajo and Southwestern Native American jewelry, is the Squash Blossom Necklace. Most are made of a string of plain round hollow silver beads, interspersed with more stylized “squash blossom” beads, and feature a pendant, or “naja”, hung from the center of the strand. Early squash blossom necklaces were mainly silver but later Native American silversmiths used more and more turquoise to create truly amazing works of art.
Wearing a prized Pendleton blanket and the timeless squash blossom necklace, this daughter of a skilled silversmith is gladly displaying the wealth and artistry of her family and her nation.
Embrace the profound beauty and cultural heritage of the American West with this evocative piece. Owning this print means preserving a story of tradition and artistry in your own space.
