Quality American Native Indian Jewelry

As in everything in life, there is American Native Indian Jewelry and then there is quality American Native Indian Jewelry! Native American Indian Jewelry began in approximately 1875 and has had a great ride as it was immediately accepted by the Navajo People when Atsidi Sani made his first piece. By 1880, Anglo Indian Traders moved into the Southwestern regions, built Indian Trading Posts and Native American Indian Jewelry began to be exploited to Southern California and beyond. Millions and millions of pieces of Indian Jewelry have been made since, a lot of it has been quality American Native Indian Jewelry and a lot has been junk Jewelry made cheap as possible to sell as much as possible.

Native American Silver Rings from Durango Silver Company

Native American Silver Rings are an American heritage. The Navajo Indians began making Native American Silver Jewelry around 1865 when a Navajo Blacksmith by the name of Atsidi Sani learned how to work with Silver from the Spaniards who were in this region in quest of Silver and Gold. Atsidi Sani immediately began making Native American Silver Rings for his people, the Navajo’s and soon after added Turquoise to his Silver Ring designs which really made his Silver Jewlry in demand by many people throughout the west.

Today, Native American Silver Rings have been refined due to modern tools and education. Durango Silver Company has some of the finest quality Native American Silver Rings as well as Native American Turquoise Rings coming out of the Southwest today. We hope you will think of Durango Silver Company the next time you are considering Native American Silver Rings.

This Silver Bridle was made with old Silver coins that were melted down and poured into ingots, they were then pounded out into sheet and then hand stamped and tooled to creat this wonderful one of a kind piece of American history.
