Naja Pendant Sterling Silver | Southwest Jewelry
Protection was the naja's original purpose: the inverted crescent guarded horses against the evil eye long before it became jewelry. Moorish riders brought the shape to Spain, Spanish horsemen carried it across the Atlantic on their bridles, and by the 1800s Navajo and Pueblo smiths had made it their own — hanging it at the center of the squash blossom necklace, where it remains the defining emblem of Southwestern silverwork.

This version carries real heft. More than eleven grams of solid .925 silver fill a crescent measuring 1-3/4" by 1", shaped through lost-wax casting — a method older than written history — and brought to a mirror shine by stage-after-stage hand polishing. A sterling silver jump ring comes already attached, so it hangs from the chain of your choice straight out of the package.
Suspend it from a heavy rope or snake chain for a concho-belt-era look, or use it to anchor a beaded strand as a modern take on the squash blossom form. It suits collectors of Western and Native-inspired design, rodeo dressers, and anyone drawn to a symbol that crossed three continents to get here. Cast in the USA.
