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. ***\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sunset Turquoise Mountain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42096817930317,"sku":"SB-T014","price":1795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/2024\/0973\/files\/blue-green-sonoran-turquoise-naja-squash-blossom-9597687.jpg?v=1761976204","url":"https:\/\/www.sunsetturquoise.com\/products\/blue-green-sonoran-turquoise-naja-squash-blossom-1","provider":"Sunset Turquoise Mountain","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
