American Indian


American Indian jewellery has a rich and diverse history that dates back thousands of years. Native American jewellery is known for its intricate designs, use of natural materials, and spiritual significance.

 

The types of jewellery produced by Native American artisans vary depending on the tribe and region. Some of the most common materials used in Native American jewellery include turquoise, coral, silver, gold, and animal bones.

Turquoise is particularly popular in Native American jewellery, and it has been used for centuries as a symbol of protection and good fortune. It is often set in silver, which was introduced to Native American jewellery-making by Spanish colonizers in the 16th century.
