About the Item
Navajo Squash Blossom necklace with eight turquoise stone naja and ten turquoise stone rope. Old Pawn. Stones are exceptional, having bright and light blue colors with brown and gold matrix. Each stone surrounded by twisted rope and unusual sterling circle border. Acquired from an individual who purchased directly on the reservation. Size: Length 22"; 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.

The Zuni are one of the Pueblo tribes. The Zuni tribe is known for master craftsmen who are experts at cutting stones into intricate patterns that fit together into the silver, rather than the silver being shaped to fit around the stones. The Zuni cut their stones with precision and place them into the jewelry, basically setting the stones the same way a contemporary jeweler would.
