Gorgeous, authentic, hand made Collectible Native American Indian jewelry is full of the romance of the Old West
The Native American Indians of the southwest learned the art of silversmithing as early as the 1850s. It was natural to use this new skill to continue creating sterling silver jewelry with the Turquoise, bone, seeds and natural shell that had been worn by native peoples for thousands of years. The traditional styles of Navajo , Zuni , Hopi , Santo Domingo , Acoma , Laguna and others, are unique and carry on the spirit and symbolism of "the Ancestors" (Anasazi). As the nation moved west with the railroad, bracelets , squash blossom necklaces , rings , bolos , concho belts , buckles, brooches and strands of Turquoise & coral were made and sold by Indian families across New Mexico and Arizona. Some were traded or pawned for needed supplies, some were sold in tourist spot , along the roadside, at rodeos and at train stops along the railroads.Vintage and Collectible Native American Indian jewelry pieces are limited to those made in years past.
Many Native American artists who create beautiful, traditional Sterling Silver jewelry today learned from the silversmiths who worked
in the trading posts of Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Gallup or Taos.
