*** Squash blossom necklaces originated in the 19th century, blending Native American craft with Spanish influences. The Naja pendant was adapted from Spanish horse bridles, while the "squash blossoms" are silver beads resembling flower buds, symbolizing growth and fertility. Worn traditionally during important ceremonies, they represent wealth and status among Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni tribes. Today, they remain iconic symbols of Native American heritage, admired for their bold design and craftsmanship. ***
