Handcrafted Native American jewelry made by the Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi
silversmiths in northern Arizona and New Mexico have evolved over the
years from the traditional turquoise based silver jewelry to the more
contemporary multi-colored stones and shells inlayed in silver.
This Southwestern style has been a unique product of the "First
People" ever since silverwork was introduced to the Navajo Indian
Atsidi Saani who learned about blacksmithing at Ft. Defiance, Arizona in
the 1850’s.
