This jewelry comes from one of the leading trading posts in the heart of the Indian Nation. Established over 35 years ago, the owners recently retired and liquidated $200,000 wholesale ($450,000 retail) of their inventory to Alltribes. They worked with some of the best Navajo and Zuni jewelers and kept to the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. This jewelry features unique designs and quality stones. It was made before the price of silver went up and will have lower prices.
Amber is a birthstone for the Zodiac sign of Taurus. In ancient times, people believed that amber could increase the powers of magicians and warlocks. Amber is made from a syrup-like resin that dripped out of the pine trees of the Carboniferous and Pleistocene periods. This resin was covered in dirt and sediment, and under heat and pressure it fossilized into amber. At times the tree resin would ooze all over a prehistoric insect or leaf and then fossilize into amber with the specimen inside. Amber pieces with organic prehistoric specimens are especially valuable both monetarily and scientifically. Also, since it's soft and easy to cut, amber has been used as a gemstone, but since it's fragile amber jewelry should be worn with care and caution.
