Authentic American Indian Jewelry
If it is important to you to know that you are purchasing genuine Hopi, Zuni,
Santo Domingo Pueblo or Navajo jewelry, Double Dee Deals provides the resources
you need when shopping for true Indian jewelry. We are able to provide
verification through the proper representation of the tribe and the artist's
hallmark or signature - the key identifiers when shopping for real Southwestern
Jewelry.
Indian silver jewelry is usually stamped with a personalized marking by the
silversmith who created the piece. If you come across an item stamped .925, it
is less likely to be Native American made. Most sellers of real Indian jewelry
will also provide Certification of Authenticity for your jewelry purchase upon
request. The items we represent as Indian or Native American jewelry, unless
represented otherwise, are genuine Indian handmade products and should not be
confused with jewelry imitations or imported pieces.
Native American Indian Jewelry History
American Indian artists have been incorporating silver, copper, beads, shells,
ivory, amber, turquoise and other stones into their Southwestern jewelry deigns
for years. The use of turquoise, coral, jet and shells as personal adornments by
Southwestern Indians dates from prehistoric times and the use of silver is
almost 100 years old. As part of their livelihood, the American Indians continue
to create stunning pieces using the same techniques from long ago. Their jewelry
making traditions stay strong, incorporating, rather than being replaced by, new
materials and advanced techniques like glass beads and metalworking. |
