A Navajo Amber with Naja Pendant Necklace is a stunning example of traditional Southwestern Native American jewelry, blending the iconic naja design with warm, golden amber accents.

The naja (pronounced “NAH-zha”) is a classic crescent-shaped pendant central to Navajo (Din) silversmithing. It originated in the late 19th century, inspired by Moorish/Spanish horse bridle ornaments brought to the Americas, and the Navajo word “naja” literally means “crescent.” While some interpret it as symbolizing protection, harmony (hzh), resilience, fertility, or the path to balance and beauty in life, many Navajo artisans view it primarily as a cherished, prestigious form without strict spiritual meaning.
