Native American Necklaces — Squash Blossoms, Santo Domingo Heishi & Zuni Fetish

The squash blossom necklace is the most recognized piece of Southwest jewelry in the world — and one of the most widely faked. The authentic version is a substantial object: heavy silver beads, crescent blossom forms, and a naja pendant set with natural turquoise. The Gordon Collection carries genuine vintage and contemporary squash blossoms selected for silver weight, stone quality, and design integrity, alongside Santo Domingo heishi necklaces, Zuni fetish strands, and Navajo beaded pieces in natural turquoise and coral.

Our vintage necklace inventory includes old pawn pieces acquired directly from reservation pawn shops and private collections over more than 50 years in the trade — pieces with a depth of history and quality of natural stone that the commercial market cannot replicate. We carry both wearable everyday pieces and collector-grade acquisitions.
