Your dear ones deserve something special and extraordinary on their special times. And undoubtedly, Native American Indian jewelry is something that your loved ones would love to wear.

The history of native American jewelry belong to old tribes in America that used all kind of natural stones and materials to design these ornaments. These people believed in connection between man, nature and earth. This philosophy is still found in the Indian culture and can be observed in their lifestyle and jewelry making ways. That is why, jewelry makers don't rely on the present day styles of jewelry designing, but, they emphasize on natural stones and other precious metals. Some commonly used metals in designing these jewels include wood, coral, bone and shells.


Native American jewelry has been around since ages. By 1880, Navajo artists have developed a name for themselves in mastering the act of Torquoise jewelry designing.


Due to the hard work of Navajo artists, Torquoise has been one of the most appreciated stones that is used in the making of Native American jewelry. This beautiful gemstone is typically utilized as a central piece particularly in rings, necklaces, earrings and pendants. Prices in Torquoise jewelry may vary depending upon the quality of stones.

Native American jewelry can be a wondeful present for your dear ones, but make sure the jewels that you buy are authentic and worth purchasing. There are many shops that sell duplicate products with real looking designs. You have to be aware of them and look for the artist's signs and stamps before buying a jewelry piece for yourself. Also you should know how to differentiate between treated and untreated stones. Untreated stones often have imperfections and are relatively more porous as compared to the treated ones. While, treated stones are tougher and durable, which reflects in their designs.


Buyers should know that original Native American jewelry pieces doesn't come in cheap, so don't mistake them for any other jewelry that looks like Native American jewelry and has a low price tag. Artists take their valuable time to design these jewels upto the mark of perfection, so if someone tries to entice you with similar looking jewels, beware!
