Gorgeous, authentic, hand made Native American jewelry is full of the romance of the Old West.  

Native Americans of the southwest learned the art of silversmithing as early as the 1850s.  It was natural to use the new skill to continue to create 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 , Hopi , Zuni , Santo Domingo, Laguna , Acoma ,  and others are unique, and carry on the ancient spirit & symbolism of "the Ancestors" (Anasazi).   As the Nation moved West with the railroad, indian families made and sold bracelets,       squash blossom necklaces,      rings,       concho belts,      brooches , buckles , bolos, bow guard bracelets,         and strands of turquoise & coral  across Arizona and New Mexico.  Some was traded or pawned for needed supplies, some was sold in tourist spots, along the roadside, at rodeos , and at train stops on the railroads.  Vintage and Collectible Native American jewelry pieces are limited to those made in years past.  Many artists who still create beautiful traditional jewelry today learned from the silversmiths who worked in trading posts of Albuquerque, Gallup, Santa Fe or Taos.
