Squash Blossom Necklace and Earrings are named for the string of flared “squash blossom” beads and the centerpiece called the naja (pronounced “naah-dja”), meaning “crescent” in Navajo. The origin of the name is uncertain, because the beads do not actually look like squash blossoms, but the necklace itself has become well known in Navajo silversmithing history. Its form dates back to the late sixteenth century, when Spain began colonizing the Four Corners region of the United States.
