Crafting Traditions: Native American Sandcast Jewelry

Native American Artists have been using Turquoise from the mines in the Southwest to create their Traditional Jewelry for many years.

John Nelson was born in Winslow, Arizona. He has been working with silver and turquoise since the 70’s.

Navajo Artist Freddy Charley was born and raised in Shiprock, New Mexico........

Sonoran Turquoise tends to have a brilliant green color with a matrix of brown and traces of pyrite which add a special sparkle to the stones.

Each Sterling Silver Drop is handmade by Navajo Silversmiths for Bold Contemporary Native American Jewelry Design.
