Characteristic Pueblo Styles | Palms Trading ABQ

Within our selection of southwestern Indian turquoise earrings, the characteristic styles of each tribe or Pueblo are evident. Navajo Indian jewelry uses chunky stones set in sterling silver bezels, some simple, some very intricate or small stones set amidst detailed stamping. Santo Domingo Pueblo jewelry commonly uses turquoise slabs cut into simple shapes or small turquoise beads to create heishi earrings. Zuni Native American Indian jewelry artists typically favor the pure sky blue of Sleeping Beauty stones to create intricate needlepoint designs or patterned inlays. Some inlaid designs create a mosaic of common symbols, like the Sun Face. The use of brushed and oxidized silver further adds to the variety of our Native American turquoise earrings. https://www.slideshare.net/palmstrading/characteristic-pueblo-styles-palms-trading-abq

A squash blossom necklace is made primarily from silver and turquoise (or other semi-precious stones) and may feature silver beads surrounding beads that look like they are blooming, hence the term “blossom.” It is said that these blossoms are fashioned after the pomegranate flower, seen on Spanish conquistadors. The horseshoe-shaped Naja is the focal point of any squash blossom necklace, typically strung at the bottom. Squash blossom necklaces predate English contact with Native Americans in the southwestern United States but are thought to be influenced by the Spanish. Squash blossom necklaces date as far back as the 1870s, and have remained fairly consistently popular throughout history. https://palmstradingcompany.wordpress.com/2020/05/21/squash-blossom-necklace/
