Thank you for visiting our collection of Native American jewelry pendants, hand crafted by skilled Indian jewelry artists from the Navajo, Zuni, Hopi and Santo Domingo Indian tribes.

Hopi Indian Jewelry:
Hopi jewelry pendants are usually all sterling silver utilizing an overlay technique. The overlay technique entails using a jeweler’s handsaw to cut a design into a sheet of sterling silver then soldering the sheet over the top of a second like-sized sheet. This creates a recessed silver background, which is then oxidized to enhance the contrast between the two layers.

Zuni Indian Jewelry:
Zuni jewelry artists create beautiful pendants utilizing their well-known channel inlay technique. This technique is where the turquoise jewelry, coral, shell and other fine gemstones are inlaid into complex channels of sterling silver over a sterling silver base. Zuni Indian pendants are also well know for their petite point or needle point settings where the turquoise jewelry is fashioned with long narrow gemstones cut and inlaid into tightly fit settings.

Navajo Indian Jewelry:
Navajo jewelry pendants are most often known for their turquoise jewelry and extraordinary use of coral, amethyst, lapis, spiny oyster and many brilliant gemstones, polished and set in a sterling silver setting as well as their stamping techniques with sterling silver.

Santo Domingo Indian Jewelry:
Santo

Domingo jewelry artists do not use silversmithing in their pendant jewelry.

Instead, most of their handcrafted pendants are a mosaic design utilizing

turquoise, jet, coral, shell and other highly polished gemstones.
