About AmericanNativeJewelry.com
Native American Indians have a long tradition of jewelry making. Using beadwork and silver, Native Americans, especially in the south-west, have fashioned jewelry with beautiful designs and intricate workmanship. The Navajo and Zuni are renowned for their stunning craftsmanship. As a result of the impact of the so-called Spanish Conquest, they were introduced to the technique of silversmithing – the melding and fashioning of silver.
