The squash blossom necklace was first made by Navajo silversmiths when they learned from Hispanic and Plains Indians craftsmen. The necklaces were worn as a way for Native Americans to display their wealth and status, especially during ceremonial events and was often worn by tribal leaders. The Navajo word for the squash blossom bead is "yo ne maze idsyagi", which means "bead that spreads out."
