A symbol steeped in spiritual meaning and ancestral power, this handcrafted Navajo sterling silver pendant features a Naja design—gracefully shaped to embody a sacred Navajo deity. With intricate silverwork and reverent detail, it is a wearable invocation of protection, strength, and connection to the divine.
The Naja, a crescent-shaped symbol with roots in Navajo, Pueblo, and earlier Moorish traditions, has long been used in ceremonial jewelry—most notably at the base of the Navajo squash blossom necklace. To the Navajo people, the Naja is believed to ward off evil, acting as a spiritual shield and a powerful emblem of balance, femininity, and sacred presence.
In this unique pendant, the Naja is further elevated with the depiction of a Navajo deity—a subtle homage to the Yei or Holy People, supernatural beings in Diné belief who bring healing, protection, and blessings. The curves and lines of the pendant reflect both cosmic symmetry and earthly strength, merging the divine with the wearable.
This piece is perfect for collectors, spiritual seekers, or anyone who appreciates meaningful Indigenous artistry. Whether worn as a standalone amulet or layered with other silver pieces, it carries the quiet power of ancestral guardianship and the elegance of Navajo silverwork.
Honor the sacred. Wear the protection. Carry the story.
