Additional Information

The squash blossom necklace, introduced to the Southwest by Navajo silversmiths in the late 19th century, became a symbol of identity and pride across many Native communities. While this piece is unsigned, its craftsmanship and age reflect the strength of that tradition. The Naja—originally a Moorish design adopted into Spanish horse tack and later integrated into Navajo silverwork—adds historical depth to its already striking form.
