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.
The Navajo were the first to produce jewelry that required the working of metal. Their love of metal working can be traced to the Spanish arrival in the Southwest. The silver bridles and horse trappings of the Conquistadors were admired and often stolen by the raiding Navajos. Later when the area became part of Mexico, Mexican silversmiths traded jewelry to wealthy Navajo for sheep. Jewelry became a symbol of wealth.
We understand the true value and nature of hand-crafted Indian art. And, we recognize it’s important to know that the artist
