Discover Our Native American Jewelry Sets

Our jewelry sets highlight the range of styles within Native American jewelry making. Each set is handmade by a skilled artisan and comes with earrings and either a matching necklace or pendant. Here are the main types of jewelry sets we offer: 

Multi-Stone Cluster Sets

Our multi-stone cluster sets feature striking gemstone arrangements in beautiful colors and designs. These sets showcase a variety of stones, including turquoise, coral, lapis lazuli, and more. Ideal for those looking to make a statement, our multi-stone cluster necklaces and earrings are bound to turn heads wherever you go. 

Turquoise Sets

Turquoise has spiritual connotations and is the most widely recognized stone used in Navajo jewelry. Our turquoise sets feature polished stones ranging from sky blue to forest green. Some of our sets come with a simple single-stone pendant, while others include elaborate multi-stone designs. Native American turquoise jewelry is timeless and pairs well with both modern and traditional clothing.

Mediterranean Coral Sets

A small portion of our jewelry sets are made with vibrant red Corallium, a coral species primarily found in the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas. This type of coral is considered fairly rare and has been used by Native American jewelry makers for generations. It can be strung on a chain or set in sterling silver as a standalone piece. 

Lapis Lazuli Sets

The deep blue color of this stone can give any outfit an air of sophistication. Lapis lazuli is a favorite among Zuni and Navajo artisans and is typically incorporated in geometric designs or cabochon necklaces. These eye-catching sets are perfect for formal occasions and can complement a number of necklines. 

Navajo Pearl Sets

True “Navajo pearls” are handmade and hand-polished sterling silver beads used in necklaces and earrings. The beads can be smooth or stamped, and many artists combine oxidized beads with smooth beads for added contrast. Our Navajo pearl sets also incorporate stones like turquoise and white buffalo for a multi-dimensional look. 

Squash Blossom Sets

Squash blossom sets are among the most recognizable and iconic Navajo jewelry. They feature crescent-shaped “naja” pendants and intricate silverwork, sometimes inlaid with turquoise and other gemstones. These jewelry sets are a symbol of prosperity and are traditionally worn on special occasions.
