American Sterling
American Indian jewelry is a beautiful example of Native culture and tradition. This beautiful type of jewelry is mostly made by hand, giving it a unique quality unlike cheap fabricated jewelry. Now days, Indian people often make a living by selling their hand-crafted jewelry and art pieces to make a living. Buying Native Indian jewelry allows you to be a part of helping them support their culture and continue practicing their traditions.
Like all Native American arts and crafts, each piece of jewelry is created from a Tribe rich in history and a vivid past. For example, Native American jewelry produced by the Tigua Indians, a Puebloan tribe, is truly extraordinary due to the fact that during the 1930′s, their Tribe was thought by some to be extinct. It wasn’t until they rallied together and began to assert themselves as a people, claiming the land that they had lost from a dishonored Spanish land grant, that they were at last identified in 1968 by President Lyndon Johnson as a tribal nation. The signing of the law by the president made Ysleta Del Sur, their new land near El Paso, Texas, into a reservation where they speak their Native language, and practice traditional customs.
Like most Indian Tribes, the Tigua Indians make jewelry and other works of art for a living. Their jewelry is similar to the jewelry made by the Navajo Tribe of the United States, and is known for its incredible design and intricate detail. By incorporating natural elements, beads and glass, along with real pieces of sterling silver, they create intriguing works of art that exemplify the best of Native tradition and hand made Indian jewelry. Owning a piece of Tigua jewelry provides you a true appreciation of their talent and a look into the lifestyle of the Tigua Tribe. Traditional craftsmanship is what makes this jewelry one-of-a-kind, and a must have for jewelry lovers and collectors.
When buying Native jewelry, it is a good idea to shop wisely and not be mislead by cheap substitutes. Buying original items, hand made by American Indians, will ensure the quality of your jewelry, and give you the satisfaction of knowing that your investment is the real thing. As you shop for Native American jewelry, you will find that it can be quite costly, like most fine hand made jewelry. Fortunately, with a little work, you can find great pieces at reasonable prices if you know where to look. Buying online is one of the best ways to come across terrific deals as well as a wide selection of jewelry available.
Genuine Native American jewelry makes a great gift idea for jewelry lovers and for those who are fascinated by Native culture. From a wide selection of beautiful classic pieces like necklaces and bracelets, you won’t have a problem choosing just the right gift for those on your list. No matter who you are buying for, remember that buying authentic American Indian jewelry is not only an investment in fine jewelry, but also an investment in the Native culture. You will enjoy helping keep their customs alive while wearing exquisite pieces of American Indian jewelry.
