Sterling Silver pendant with Sierra Bella Turquoise. It hangs on a 24 inch Sterling Silver rounded box chain. What is unique about this piece is when you shake it, it rattles because each handmade bead has little Sterling Silver balls inside.
Some say that the Navajo created the squash blossom after seeing the pomegranate design frequently used as decoration by the Spanish people.
Others believe that the squash blossom is a design taken from the flowery part of the squash plant, a crop that Native Americans relied on in the Southwest.
In any case, the Squash Blossom design carries a classic beauty that remains special to this day.
