{"title":"Squash Blossom Necklaces","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe squash blossom developed slowly and has roots deep in non-native culture and history.

Captured or traded, these ornaments soon graced the necks of the local Native populace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe acquisition of a naja was a matter of pride and the ornament, reproduced in the various metals, was proudly displayed during ceremonies. These pendants, originally brought from Spain, reflected the influence of earlier Moorish conquests and the occupation of Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce silver beads came into fashion around 1880, Navajo silversmiths found a way to display these najas on necklaces. The squash blossom beads were fashioned after the pomegranate-shaped buttons on the pants worn by the Spanish. These beads were possibly misnamed long ago by a trader who thought they looked like squash blossoms. The squash blossom necklace today stands as a fusion of cultures and has become synonymous with Southwest American Indian jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearn More: \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"The Squash Blossom Necklace\" href=\"https:\/\/www.garlands.com\/blogs\/news\/the-squash-blossom-necklace\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eThe History of Squash Blossom Necklaces\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"1940s-mercury-dime-squash-blossom","title":"1940s Mercury Dime Squash Blossom","description":"Vintage Navajo (1940s) Sterling Silver Squash Blossom Necklace made with Forty-Five Mercury Dimes Ranging in Age from 1940 - 1945.
