Naja Charm Sterling Silver | Southwestern Jewelry | Made in USA

The Naja — a crescent-shaped ornament that traveled from ancient Mesopotamia through Spain to the American Southwest — rendered in .925 sterling silver, Made in USA. This 2.6-gram charm measures 3/4" x 1", with the classic crescent form and terminal balls cast in full 3D detail.

Each piece is lost-wax cast using a technique that dates back 6,500 years. After molten silver fills the mold, hand-finishing through four progressive stages produces a surface that machine polishing cannot match.

The naja has one of the longest migration stories in jewelry history — from Moorish amulets to Spanish horse trappings to Navajo squash blossom necklaces. Each culture added its own meaning, from fertility to protection.

A must-have for squash blossom collectors, Southwestern jewelry enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates symbols with deep historical roots. Sterling silver jump ring included and attached.
