Each component carries distinct symbolic, and historical meaning. For instance:
The central crescent-shaped focal piece, called the "Naja" (Navajo for "crescent"), is widely interpreted as a talisman for protection against negative influences or the "evil eye".
If the naja has a drop pendant center, that is representative of a child in a womb.
The squash blossom beads symbolize flowering, fruitful plants, representing fertility and a spiritual connection to nature and are named after the squash flower, a critical "Three Sisters" crop (along with corn and beans) essential for survival and nourishment in the Southwest.
The round silver beads are symbolic of the circle of life, continuous movement and interconnectedness and the turquoise is symbolic of spiritual protection and heritage.
