About the Item

Navajo squash blossom necklace with dangle matching earrings. Signed by J. Long. The Turquoise is from the Kingman Mine in Arizona. Each stone set in shadowbox with sterling design at top. Naja has large shadowbox design at top with simple drops. 19 stones total, having bright blue color with dark matrix. Simple but beautiful piece, great for casual or formal Southwestern attire. Size: Length: 25 1/2" Naja: 8 1/4" The Navajo word for the squash blossom bead literally means “bead that spreads out”. This tri-petal form first appeared about 1880. Scholars believe that this flower motif was introduced by the Spanish as a variation of the pomegranate flower blossom, and the Navajo adapted it as a symbol of their revered squash. Initially the necklaces were rather simple with the tri-petal silver beads interspersed with rather plain beads. In time, stones were added to the blossom beads as demonstrated in our collection. According to the Navajo, the Naja is strictly decorative; however, it has always been held in high regard by the Navajo and other peoples.
