Silversmith's Daughter

from $30.00

Various Sizes - Matted Prints

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.
