Oyster Necklaces

Oyster Necklace Designs

Tribes in the Southwest have long used oyster shells for adornment, jewelry and art. Our collection highlights the remarkable skill and craftsmanship needed to transform shells into a beautiful oyster necklace.

At SilverTribe, we have a stunning collection of oyster necklaces and our inventory is always growing. Tribes from all over the country have a history of using shells in jewelry. Our oyster necklaces come in a variety of amazing colors, including red, orange and purple.

The most popular variety among Navajo, Zuni, Pueblo and Hopi tribes is the oyster shell. Some of the shells used in their jewelry dates back to prehistoric times. The most talented jewelry makers expertly carve and polish oyster shells into various sizes and shapes and place them by hand into sterling silver.

Other stones such as turquoise, which blends perfectly with a polished purple shell, also compliment our oyster necklaces. Jewelry collectors and enthusiasts admire our selection of finely crafted oyster necklace designs that capture the spirit and tradition of the tribes who made these items so popular.

Take some time to explore our selection and you'll find some extraordinary items made by the finest artists in the Southwest. Many artists use the spiny oyster, a member of the scallop family found in various locations throughout the world. It is known as one of the more colorful and durable varieties, which accounts for its popularity with Native American jewelry makers.

Shells are also formed into beads that are formed, polished and used in oyster necklaces. It's a technique that requires patience and skill, but produces a truly stunning bead.

Other artists use the inlay technique and meticulously carve stones and shells to produce detailed pieced of authentic oyster necklaces with colorful, intricate beauty. Such elaborate designs and vibrant colors can't be found anywhere else online.

The designs we carry inspire customers every day by capturing the artistry and heritage of those who make our beautiful oyster necklaces. Our pieces capture the spirit of the Southwest and pay tribute to the generations of artists who helped perfect the style.

The best example of an oyster necklace is much more than a piece of art; it captures the passion of the artist and their dedication to the craft. Quality materials, desert flair and impeccable attention to detail are attributes we look for in all the items we carry at SilverTribe.

The art is thriving more than ever and we hope to be a trusted source for all your needs. Our collection of oyster necklaces is unmatched in terms of quality, craftsmanship and beauty.
