If you are studying old Indians, you must have seen Silver Beads like this. Silver beads are the earliest silver jewelry made by the Navajo people (even earlier than Squash Blossom ).

(Navajo’s first silversmith, Atsidi Sani, wears Silver Beads with Naja’s necklace.)

Because the Navajo people admired the shell and turquoise beads ( Heishi Beads ) made by the Pueblo people before they learned how to make silver, so after learning the silver-making technology, they tried to beat Mexican coins into semicircles and weld them up and down. Hollow Silver Beads can be strung into a necklace and worn.

At the same time, it also continued to trade shells and turquoise decorations with Pueblo. The application of turquoise can be seen in the common combination of Naja and the later Squash Blossom .
