While Native American
jewelry is nearly synonymous with beautiful sterling silver,
many dazzling gold designs originated with Southwestern tribes. At

Gold has been a world treasure since ancient times and many believe
Native American gold jewelry and ornaments were being produced long
before the first Europeans set foot in the New World.

jewelry makers, but there are still plenty of jewelers crafting

themed jewelry. We have some of the finest examples of American
Indian gold jewelry designs, whether you are looking for bracelets,

languages that reveal spiritual beliefs. Today's artists represent

generation of stunning artwork.
The material in our American Indian gold jewelry is the same as
those used hundreds of years ago. For centuries, this knowledge of
jewelry making was handed down directly from tribal elders to the
young artists. Eventually, teaching of the craft spread and today
there are many talented artists creating magnificent Native
American Gold jewelry.
In fact, many of today's artists still honor traditions and
guidelines that were established generations ago. Tradition and
modern design are portrayed in all of our American Indian gold

Perhaps the best-known and most revered Native American gold
jewelry designs come from the tribes of the Southwest. These tribes
used beautiful stones and other materials to make colorful
pendants, necklaces and earrings. Experts believe color was the
primary mode used to communicate ideas in art.
The beautifully bright colors are accomplished by meticulously
placing cutting, shaping and inlaying colorful stones and gems.
Historians believe the straight lines and angular shapes were meant
to mimic the captivating landscape of the Southwest.
Our Native American gold jewelry features the same style of artwork
and craftsmanship that Navajo, Hopi and Zuni artists have used for
generations. Our selection offers an array of American Indian gold
jewelry designs that implement stonework, beads and other alluring
materials.
American Indian gold jewelry designs are much more than
accessories; they are pieces of art that reflect the cultures that
inspired each item. The symbols and motifs found in Native American
gold jewelry represent deep cultural and spiritual beliefs.
Societal views, spiritual aspects and supernatural beliefs are
still expressed today in jewelry and other forms of art.
This can be seen in our collection of sterling silver and gold
themed jewelry. The shapes portrayed in this jewelry reflect
culturally significant images, such as feathers and animals.
