$295.00 $590.00
Add a rare and meaningful piece of Native American history to your collection with this vintage Navajo sterling silver necklace by renowned silversmith Francis Jones, signed and stamped "Sterling." Measuring 24 inches long, this necklace features traditional bench-made sterling silver beads in both round and elongated melon shapes, showcasing the skill and aesthetic balance of Navajo craftsmanship.
The centerpiece is a stunning removable Naja pendant, measuring 2.25 inches long by 1 9/16 inches wide, set with two round turquoise stones. The Naja—an iconic symbol in Navajo jewelry—originated from Moorish and Spanish designs and was adopted into Native jewelry as a protective talisman, traditionally worn to ward off evil and bring spiritual balance. Its crescent shape has deep cultural resonance and is a hallmark of classic squash blossom necklaces.
This heirloom-quality piece is a standout for collectors of vintage Native American jewelry, or anyone looking to wear a genuine piece of the Southwest.
