by Jonshon Matthew Consultant

Native American jewelry has been around for over a century. People from Native American tribes like the Zuni, Navajo, and Hopi make some of the most interesting jewelry items into unique and beautiful turquoise masterpieces.

When looking for Native American jewelry for sale, it is important to make sure that you are getting the real thing. However, there are a lot of dishonest merchants in the market who don't care about the real value of the jewelry.

Continue reading to avoid becoming the one holding a forgery of what would have been a Native American jewelry item.

Get to know your dealer. As a buyer, you should be concerned if they are unable or unwilling to give proper certification for things they have bought. Your dealer should be prepared to issue an authenticity guarantee and be accessible to address any questions or concerns that may arise. Make certain you get a receipt that includes all the important information about your goods.

Conduct your research. Begin by researching jewelry prices online and determining your budget. Consider it an investment to think hard about what you'll love. If you do thorough research, you will be confident enough to browse around and locate something that fits you.

Do not settle for a low price. Handmade pieces whether Native American earrings or otherwise are sometimes pricey. If you think the "discount" you're receiving for real items is "too good to be true," trust your instincts! Unless you know your dealer well and have a specific agreement in place, and even then, if it seems too good to be true, it usually is!

Be aware of signs and symbols. Many people are unaware that genuine Native American jewelry has a hallmark indication. They will also include the artist's signature and, in certain cases, the year of manufacturing, stamped or engraved into the jewelry. This proves the jewelry's legitimacy.

Pay close attention to color. Due to the presence of natural minerals such as copper, turquoise is often a blend of bright hues. If you come across an absolutely uniform piece of turquoise, particularly at a cheap price, you may be certain it is a forgery. The overall aesthetic of the work is also important. The stone should be tough, maybe with divets, and robust enough to resist scratching.

So there you have it: the best guide to purchasing genuine jewelry. Get your turquoise bracelets or any other piece and transform your fashion sense from drab to gorgeous in an instant.
