This piece is a stunning example of classic Navajo jewelry. This piece is handmade out of sterling silver and genuine stones.
Naja (názhah) in the Navajo language means "crescent shape" or "curve." The naja design is derived from moorish origins who influenced the Spanish, who decorated their bridles with such ornamentations. These bridle pieces adorned the horses of the Spanish. The Navajo silversmiths were influenced by the design.
