Vintage Navajo Pawn Squash Blossom Necklace

Vintage Navajo Pawn Squash Blossom Necklace with Turquoise | Hallmarked JJJ | Circa 1940s–1950s

This authentic vintage Navajo pawn squash blossom necklace reflects classic mid-20th-century Southwestern silversmithing. Created during a period when jewelry was commonly produced to be pawned at regional trading posts, this piece embodies the history, craftsmanship, and cultural significance of pawn jewelry.

The necklace features hand-formed silver beads and traditional squash blossom elements, each set with natural turquoise cabochons displaying soft blue tones with subtle matrix. The design is completed with a traditional naja pendant, also set with turquoise, providing strong visual balance and presence.

The necklace is stamped with the hallmark “JJJ,” identifying the maker and enhancing the collectability of the piece. The silver exhibits a natural, original patina consistent with age and use, with no evidence of modern polishing.
