Get that natural feel and celebrate Indian culture with Native American jewelry

One great way to celebrate the American Indian culture is by wearing Native American jewelry. Not only is it rich with culture and history, but it also makes for lovely, natural, earthy accessories.

Styles vary from tribe to tribe, but only a little, mainly because over the years they've used the same resources that were traded before Europeans arrived: beads, silver, ivory, shells, copper, amber, turquoise, and other stones.

After the European colonization, Native Americans incorporated new items into their jewelry, including glass beads, and now Czech beads. While they added new materials and advanced metalworking, they held on to the old styles. These days you can still find artists who carry on the jewelry-making tradition, and that is why, when searching for this jewelry, it is great to support the culture by buying from true Native American artists.
