Meaning And Tradition The Naja symbol - the impressive centerpiece of the squash blossom design - is said to have originated in the Middle East, where the Moors brought horse shoe shaped jewelry with them as a ward against the evil eye into Spain. From here, the Spanish conquistadors brought the symbol to the Navajo, who adopted it. And as a food and as a symbol - the importance of squash to the Native Americans of the Southwest cannot be understated. As such, squash is also a clan symbol in some Native American cultures, such as the Squash Clans of the Navajo (whose Squash Clan is named Naayízí Dine'é) and the Hopi (whose Squash Clan is called Paatangngyam,) the Calabasah Clans of the Pueblo tribes, and the Gourd Clans of the Kiowa and Osage. Owning A Squash Blossom Necklace Today All at once, squash blossoms necklaces are an investment in fine art, a piece of American history, and a talisman full of meaning and purpose. For many Native American jewelry collectors, a southwestern wardrobe is incomplete without a squash blossom necklace.
