Well... :) I will tell the truth: there is no historical evidence that Navajo's women wore diadems. Neither it's known if "Squash blossom" diadem has ever existed.
But we live in the land of our dreams, and this is my dream, my fantasy...
Let's imagine that a "Squash blossom" diadem was made at least once. How would it look like?
Trying to answer this question I made this item - to your judgement.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The diadem features a crescent shaped pendant, called a "naja", which is the Navajo word for "crescent", and beads with a design resembling a squash blossom. Both the naja and squash blossom beads designs are adapted from the early Spanish settlers of the American Southwest.

The naja motif was borrowed from the Spanish horse bridle. The Spanish had adoped the naja design from the crescent moon motif of the Moors of North Africa. The crescent design was common to many early civilizations.

The squash blossom design is based on a pomegranate blossom motif originally worn as silver trouser ornaments by the Spanish and, later, by the Mexicans who came to the Southwest. The Navajo do not use the term "squash blossom", instead referring to "the bead that spreads out".

----------------------------------------------

The diadem is made is 121 high-quality sculpted prims and has the realistic and rich look that cannot be achieved by use of regular prims.

Sometimes the use of large number of sculpted prims may cause a certain bug which is called "a bug of disappearing prims". Even though from distance the necklace looks flawless and gorgeous, when you zoom in you may notice that some of the beads are missing and some of the stones "fell off". When you zoom out, the necklace seems to be back to normal. This is a known bag which is related to last viewer version and it's not in any way related to structural integrity of the necklace.
It may be easily fixed if you complete the following steps:

1. Show the "Advanced" menu with Ctrl-Alt-D, or Opt-Ctrl-D on a Mac.
2. Select "debug settings" near the bottom.
3. In the blank space, copy and paste the word:

renderMaxNodeSize

4. Bellow you'll see a number - the default value is 4096, setting it to 6000 or above will fix the problem; I recommend setting it as high as 6000 - in my browser it was enough to eliminate the problem.

(You might have to wait up to 30 seconds after adjusting the value to see any effect. Be patient.)

------------------------------------------------
