Blue Turquoise, Coral, Spiny Oyster, and Mojave Turquoise Naja Pendant

The naja is a crescent-shaped piece that is often worn alone as a pendant or as the center piece of a squash blossom necklace in Southwestern Indian jewelry.

The word “naja” is the Navajo word for “crescent”. Navajo Indian silversmiths began incorporating the naja design into their jewelry. The Navajo were the main Indian tribe that made the najas, but they were also made by some Pueblo tribes as well.

Pairs beautifully with Rocki Gorman's 22" Blue Turquoise, Spiny Oyster, and Mojave Turquoise Necklace.
