SELL YOUR NATIVE AMERICAN JEWELRY

The lineage and spectacular craftsmanship of Native American jewelry is oftentimes linked through ancestry and a tradition ripe with culture. Some of the Native tribes most commonly associated with fine, handcrafted, and skilled jewelry making or stone cutting are the Hopi, the Navajo, and the Zuni. All tribes have their own unique specialties, such as detailed inlay work, intricate overlay, or elaborate pattern stamping.

​

Within the Zuni Tribe, Navajo Nation, and the Hopi People are renowned artisans, silversmiths, and goldsmiths. For example, Thomas Singer, Calvin Begay, Fred Guerrero, and Hyson Craig have become well-known for their reputation and regard for excellence in the art of jewelry making. It is also worth noting that Native American jewelry is not without its extensive use of exotic materials including coral, spiny oyster shell, lapis, jasper, mother of pearl, and malachite, just to name a few. However, the gemstone that is often most associated with Native American jewelry would be the often imitated, but never duplicated fine natural turquoise.
