Squash Blossoms: From Spanish Pomegranates to Southwestern Icon
Few forms of Native American jewelry are as instantly recognizable as the Navajo squash blossom necklace. With its graceful strands of silver beads, flower-like ornaments, and crescent-shaped naja pendant, the squash blossom necklace has become one of the defining symbols of Southwestern art. Yet its story is not solely Native American, nor solely Spanish. Instead, it is the result of centuries of cultural exchange, adaptation, and artistic innovation.
