This is a beautiful Navajo handmade Nickel Silver Squash Blossom necklace.
The squash blossom necklace is one of the most recognizable artifacts of the Native American Culture. Traditionally associated with the Navajo silversmiths, rather it is a fascinating consolidation of influences traced historically back hundreds of years.The classic squash blossom necklace features a crescent shaped pendant, called "Naja" (Nah-Hah), the Navajo word for "crescent."Early on, the Navajo wore the Nah-Hah as an ornament of beauty and these pieces also came to symbolize wealth. Eventually became associated with crop fertility and worn during ceremonies related to the agricultural cycles. It was customary for Medicine men to wear them as well.
This necklace measures about 22 inches in length, and the Nah-Hah measures about 2 1/2 inches wide by about 2 3/4 inches long. We do accept returns but the buyer pays return shipping!!
