Vintage Sterling Silver Navajo Turquoise Squash Blossom Necklace

A vintage Navajo sterling silver squash blossom necklace set with vibrant turquoise stones in a classic Southwestern design. The necklace features a strand of hand-formed silver beads supporting a series of traditional squash blossom elements, each set with teardrop-shaped turquoise cabochons. The stones display a bright blue hue, creating a striking contrast against the darkened, oxidized silver settings. At the center hangs a prominent naja pendant, adorned with multiple turquoise stones arranged in a fan-like formation, with an additional drop set within the crescent. The naja’s curved form anchors the design and reflects traditional Navajo symbolism and craftsmanship. The piece is finished with a hook-and-eye clasp and exhibits a cohesive, handcrafted aesthetic typical of mid-20th century Native American jewelry.
