Vintage Navajo Pawn Squash Blossom Necklace

Vintage Navajo Pawn Squash Blossom Necklace with Turquoise | Circa 1930s–1940s

This authentic vintage Navajo pawn squash blossom necklace reflects classic Southwestern silversmithing from the early to mid-20th century. Created during a period when jewelry was commonly made to be pawned at trading posts, this piece embodies the utilitarian origins and enduring beauty of pawn jewelry.

The necklace features hand-formed silver beads and traditional squash blossom elements, each set with natural turquoise cabochons displaying varied blue tones and natural matrix. A traditional naja pendant, also set with turquoise, anchors the design and adds strong visual balance and cultural significance.
