- Oh my gosh TH-cam Friends! I finally bought my dream necklace: A 1970's Navajo Squash Blossom Necklace. You won't believe how I got it.
I'm a serious library nut - I go to my local library weekly to check out any type of book. In this video I show you many beautiful Squash Blossoms in coffee table books. Those books are great to check out from the library.
It's an amazing iconic Native American Indian design, and it's powers are many. It has a rich & interesting history, which I will profile in my video.
Because of Facebook, I found my dream necklace less than 2 miles from my house! I fell in love with it - paid $800 for it, and began wearing it wherever I went. This video is my love letter to this incredible necklace that, before I owned it, had been sitting in a closet for many years. Now - it has a new home, a new Mom, and I'm thrilled to be wearing it, and appreciating it for it's Native beauty.

Beautiful necklace for a beautiful person. Thanks for sharing. I could tell you're so passionate about what you do.
Oh you are too kind Nimesh! Thank you so much for watching my Squash Blossom video. I saw a lady in the grocery store the other day when I was wearing it, she said she had a few necklaces like this she wants to sell. Looks like I may add to my collection. lol Have a nice day! ;-)
In 1976 we were on a family vacation in Arizona ,my parents bought a turquoise bear claw necklace for 1500 dollars.
Hello Lifeisshortby! That is so cool. I wonder what town you were in. And do your parents still have the necklace, that would be so neat to see. Must be a beautiful timeless piece. Jewelry like that never goes out of style. Thank you for watching my video!
😘😘😘
Love your video...Is it true that some naja necklaces were not signed because it was made to be kept in the family. Most artist were anonymous. Can you verify that?
Hello Sylvia! Thank you for watching my video. To my recollection, yes, I do think that was one of the reasons, the Native artists did not sign their work. It has been over a year since I made this video, and it may be worth it to you to read this book I sited in my references: 'Hallmarks of the Southwest, Barton Wright c.1989' I checked it out at my local library, and it deals solely with the hallmarks of the Native artists of the Southwest. It was a fascinating book, and i seem to remember it was there that I learned of artists not signing their work for various reasons. Additionally, when I got my necklace appraised, the Antique appraiser (He was a specialist in Native American Indian Jewelry), he used just this book to appraise my piece! In addition to his expertise and knowledge. He owns an amazing store in Vista California called: 'The Indian Store' 1950 Hacienda Dr, Vista, CA 92081. It's definitely worth a trip if you're ever out this way. His name is Ken and he's super helpful and knowlegable. Enjoy, and let me know if you end up reading that book. 🙂
I have a vintage squash blossom signed JD, I am trying to find out something about him
Hello! Check this book out from your local library. This is the same one in my video, that shows how you can figure out who your artist is. Hallmarks of the Southwest, Barton Wright c.1989. Would love to see your Squash Blossom if you have time to email a photo to me. mishawna@mishawnaromerohair.com. Where did you get it? Have a nice day!
They are not Native American Indians. They’re Native Americans.
I am Apache and have no problem with the descriptor Indian.
