The Navajo learned silver working from the Spanish in the middle of the 19th century. One of the earliest designs they made was what is referred to as a "Squash Blossom." It resembles the blossom of a squash. The blossom that it was fashioned after was actually that of the pomegranate. The handmade blossoms of this pair of earrings dangle from sterling silver screw backs.
