Jewelry Materials and Techniques

Native American jewelers work with materials that come directly from the world around them, transforming them into meaningful pieces. Before the introduction of silver, softer metals like copper, along with carved bones, were used to make jewelry. Learning silversmithing from Spanish settlers opened up new possibilities, allowing artists to create the distinctive styles that can still be recognized today. Below are some of the most significant types of Native American jewelry in the collection.

Native American Tribes and Styles

Tribes across the Southwest developed their own distinctive ways of jewelry-making that exemplify their cultures’ art. The materials and the techniques they employ often shed light on their history and what is meaningful to them. The following are the different ways these gifted artists create their beautiful pieces.

Navajo Jewelry

Navajo Jewelry

Navajo jewelry typically showcases silverwork to make substantial, eye-catching pieces that often feature intricate details. Turquoise plays a major role in many Navajo designs, at times appearing as large centerpieces that stand out against polished silver backgrounds. When you see heavy silver bracelets, squash blossom necklaces, or sterling silver concho belts, you’re looking at the kind of iconic jewelry that Navajo artists are famous for making.

Zuni Jewelry

Zuni Jewelry

Zuni jewelry is known for using many small stones arranged in careful patterns to create detailed pieces. The fine stonework typically features carefully cut and polished stones set in delicate silverwork. The Zuni often build up complex designs through their precise inlay, petit point, or needlepoint work.

Hopi Jewelry

Hopi Jewelry

Hopi artists often work with sterling silver by cutting designs through one top layer and solder to a solid second layer which has an oxidized or textured layer underneath. This technique is called overlay, and it allows them to incorporate traditional symbols from their culture directly into the jewelry. Cornstalks, rainclouds, and other meaningful imagery often found on traditional pottery and baskets become part of bracelets, earrings, and pendants that hold deep meaning for the Hopi.

Santo Domingo Jewelry

Santo Domingo Jewelry

Jewelers from the Santo Domingo Pueblo (aka the Kewa Pueblo) are experts at making round beads called heishi by cutting and polishing small pieces of shell and stone. They are also known for combining different materials in mosaic inlay designs.

FAQs

How can I tell if Native American jewelry is authentic?

Genuine pieces will often have the artist’s signature or stamp on the piece that shows who made it. Authentic materials like natural turquoise may show unique matrix patterns while sterling silver displays “925,” “SS,” or “Sterling” hallmarks. Quality handwork features precise stone settings and traditional techniques. 

Why is turquoise important in Native American jewelry?

Turquoise symbolizes protection and healing in Native American cultures, and it connects people to water and the sky. Many tribes also believe that this gemstone brings good luck and aids in spiritual growth. The blue-green colors represent hope and creation, making turquoise a highly valued element in tribal traditions.

Do you offer luxury Native American jewelry?

The artists create one-of-a-kind handmade pieces using the finest metals, such as sterling silver and gold, as well as premium gemstones and other natural materials. Many of the items in the curated collection are considered to be statement pieces, and the artists often display their work in museums and galleries. Since the pieces exemplify true art, they can be considered to be luxury jewelry.

What stones and metals are used in Native American jewelry?

Turquoise and sterling silver are one of the most iconic combinations in Native American cultures, especially in Southwestern jewelry. Other pieces may feature gold, coral, mother-of-pearl, lapis lazuli, jet, sugilite, spiny oyster, abalone, onyx, and opal, among other traditional materials.

How should I care for Native American jewelry?

Keep your jewelry separate in padded boxes or soft pouches to ensure the pieces don’t become entangled or scratched. Avoid perfumes, lotions, moisture, direct sunlight, chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners. If your jewelry is made of silver, clean it with silver polish and a soft cloth, making sure not to touch any stones. Gently wipe the stones with a dry cloth since they can get damaged easily. For maintenance and repair, take your jewelry to a jewelry cleaner specializing in Native American jewelry. If you need more information, a reputable seller will always be able to help you understand how to clean or store your jewelry.

Does buying Native American jewelry support Native American artists?

Purchasing authentic pieces from reliable sources that pay fair prices directly helps Native American artists and their communities. Buying ethically preserves cultural traditions and helps combat counterfeit jewelry that harms legitimate artists.

Is Native American jewelry good for everyday wear?

The collection’s pieces use high-quality, durable materials designed to withstand regular use with proper maintenance. The longevity of the jewelry depends on how well you care for and maintain it over time. 

Which Native American tribes are known for jewelry making?

Many of the featured artists come from the Southwestern tribes, including the Navajo, the Zuni, the Hopi, and the Kewa Pueblo. These artists demonstrate expertise and dedication to their art through the use of meaningful symbolism and precise stonework or metalwork, exemplifying their tribal heritage.

Is all Native American jewelry handmade?

Every piece in the collection comes from skilled Native American artists who create their art by hand using traditional methods. Many of these artists have displayed their work in notable museums and art galleries across the country.

What do the symbols in Native American jewelry mean?

Native American symbols often convey stories about nature, family history, and spiritual beliefs. Popular designs include the thunderbird for strength, bears for courage, feathers for spiritual power, and spirals for the journey of life.

Where can I buy authentic Native American jewelry online?

SilverTQ sources handmade pieces representing various tribes, including the Navajo, the Zuni, the Kewa Pueblo, and the Hopi. It offers genuine Native American jewelry ranging from turquoise bracelets to sterling silver necklaces, and many other pieces, carrying on a commitment to authentic art since 1978.

Why is sterling silver commonly used in Native American jewelry?

Sterling silver contains 92.5% silver mixed with 7.5% other metals like copper to create a more durable but no less attractive material than pure silver. In North America, the Navajo were among the first to use silver following European contact in the 1800s, and subsequently, other tribes also began silversmithing. Sterling silver’s beauty and strength work well with detailed and sturdy designs alike, and it also holds special significance in Native American beliefs. It is associated with the moon, feminine energy, and other cultural elements.

Do you ship internationally?

The reliable ground shipping uses UPS Standard for Canadian orders, which typically take 1–5 business days. For orders going to other countries, UPS Worldwide Expedited and UPS Worldwide Express are used, with delivery times of 1–5 business days as well.
