History of the Squash Blossom Necklace:
The Navajo Squash Blossom necklace has deep cultural and historical roots, originating in the late 19th century. Its iconic form incorporates the Naja, a crescent-shaped pendant that traces back to Moorish influences through Spanish settlers. The Navajo adopted and adapted the Naja as a symbol of protection and blessing. The squash blossoms, inspired by the pomegranate flower, became a distinctly Navajo element symbolizing resilience, growth, and harmony with nature. Each necklace, reflects both Navajo heritage and a legacy of adaptation, creating a piece saturated with purpose and tradition. Today, this necklace is cherished as a significant cultural artifact, recognized for its timeless beauty and enduring symbolism.
