Jewelry

Native American Jewelry and Indian Jewelry are terms that bring to mind the silver, turquoise and coral jewelry of the Navajo and Pueblo peoples. The best known jewelers Navajo, Zuni and Hopi tribes are creating many fine pieces, as are members of other tribes and Pueblos. Southwestern peoples have worn jewelry made from pieces of shell, turquoise and other materials for centuries.

 

 

The Navajo were the first to produce metal-working, which can be traced to the Spanish arrival in the Southwest. Between 1884 and 1899, turquoise stones began to appear set in silver jewelry. The Zuni learned to silversmith from the Navajo in the early 1870's, and the Hopi apparently learned the craft from a Zuni.
