These beautiful earrings were created in the traditional Diné (Navajo) style!
The term “Squash Blossom” refers to the unique, flared beads that line a Squash Blossom necklace. Although the squash blossom beads are integrally part of the necklace, we've taken the squash blossom bead and paired it with turquoise stone to give you a truly traditional Diné (Navajo) earring.
Each earring has one genuine Kingman turquoise stone and dangling from each turquoise is a silver plated squash blossom.
Two turquoise nugget sizes are available: 8mm or 11mm turquoise.
Length: 2¼"- 2¾" (lengths vary slightly).
The ear wires are Sterling Silver.

You’ve probably found yourself faced with endless options, wondering which are the best. Well, here’s the silver cleaning methods that our jewelers suggest for your at-home cleanings:
- Soap and water: This is our most recommended method because of the gentleness of soap and water. This should really be your first line of defense before trying anything else.
- Baking soda and water: If you come across suggestions to use toothpaste, we highly recommend you ignore that tip and use baking soda and water instead. When toothpastes were simple non-whitening, non-gel based pastes, they could be used on your jewelry. However, they include many more ingredients now that may damage your silver. Instead make a paste from baking soda and water, apply a small amount onto a cloth or tooth brush and scrub gently.
- White vinegar and baking soda: This gentle cleaning method is great for removing heavy tarnish. Soak your sterling silver in ½ cup of white vinegar and 2 tbsp of baking soda (combine these in the sink and prepare yourself for the fizzing and foam) for two to three hours. Rinse jewelry and pat dry.
- Finish with a polish: After you’ve given your jewelry a good cleaning, you can finish the process by using a polishing cloth that’s specifically for sterling silver.
