Sterling Silver Bisbee Squash Blossom Necklace
$27.43
$51.84
This handmade sterling silver squash blossom necklace showcases high-grade Bisbee turquoise, prized for its rich blue tones and intricate purple-black matrix. Each stone is bezel-set and framed in traditional Navajo silverwork, featuring classic fluted beads and finely crafted silver “squash blossom” elements. The focal point of the necklace is the naja pendant—a crescent-shaped centerpiece that holds deep symbolic meaning, often representing protection and spiritual well-being. The squash blossom necklace is a hallmark of Navajo jewelry, first appearing in the late 19th century as a fusion of Diné silversmithing and Spanish/Moorish influences. The “squash blossoms” themselves—silver beadwork flaring at the ends—are inspired by pomegranate or flower motifs and are traditionally arranged along a double strand of handmade beads. This necklace exemplifies that heritage with elevated craftsmanship and exceptional turquoise quality. Dimensions: 27L “
