Native American Earrings

Even though Native American earrings are a beautiful fashion statement, there are still people who believe in their traditional powers. Native American earrings in particular have been used for personal adornment, spirituality, and a form a wealth. There are references to earrings going back to early human history.

In some cultures it was believed that earrings would ward off bad spirits from entering the ear, much like the belief in a dream catcher to the American Indians. Depending on the Native American Tribe, some believe they add to a person's inner strength, and provide healing powers. At SilverTribe we carry many of the traditional earring designs and most popular Indian earring types along with an extensive collection of Southwest Earrings. Some of our earring designs include Coral earrings, multicolor earrings, Opal earrings, Hematite earrings, Malachite earrings, lapis earrings, Denim Lapis earrings, Azurite earrings, Amber earrings, Oyster earrings, clip on earrings and the ever so popular bead earrings.

Many people love Native earrings because they are made from so many natural resources such as animal bone, plants, shells, stones, and wood. Various metals such as Copper, Gold, and Silver were introduced later on. Silver being soft and easy to work with eventually became the material of choice by most of the Native American Indians. These earrings are now made in every shape, style, and color, most of these complimented by various semi-precious stones and shells such as Turquoise, Onyx, Coral and Mother of Pearl. Whether you're looking for a contemporary onyx earring or would like a more traditional setting like a Navajo style Turquoise earring, we have a pair for you.

Hoop earrings are extremely popular and are available in styles from small and conservative to large flashy and bold. No wardrobe is complete without them. Native American hoop earrings come in two varieties: full-hoop and half-hoop. From these two basic hoop earring styles numerous varieties have been developed. Full-hoop earrings are simple, but make a bold fashion statement. In actuality, they are rings that are fashioned into hoops from plain wire or tubing. The wire hoop style is often worn with no additional decoration or ornamentation, and come in many widths and sizes and make a bold and loud statement. Tubing hoops, being much stronger in their design, can support beadwork and dangles. Semi-precious stones are easily incorporated into Native American hoop earrings giving them a limitless variety of colors and styles. With a strong base, stones can be inlaid, have channel settings, or individually set.

Native American Indians also love dangle earrings, and can range from large chandelier style earrings to simple beaded clusters. Some Native American cultures believed earrings were a sign of wealth; you guessed it, the bigger the better. Made of single or multi-colored stones, these unique dangle creations combine to give a free flowing motion to all earring pieces, drawing even more attention to the wearer's face. These dangle earrings may come with wires, which are easily worn and just slip on, or with posts. Most Native American Tribes have their own distinct type of dangle earring, and range from a simple silver drop to very elaborate styles with stones and beads. Native American Tribes are also inclined to form earrings of many types of animals and designs unique to their spiritual beliefs, such as horse earrings, the Kokopelli, feather earrings, and water wave designs.

Now for our more conservative customers we carry Native American post earrings which can be some of the most sophisticated earrings around. The stud earring can be plain and is usually a small single stone but post earrings come with remarkable silverwork, and beautiful inlay and stone settings. Many Native American Indian post earrings styles use the mounting as the main design, or focal point. Whether it's a plain silver earring or an intricate turtle earring, all post earrings sit on the ear lobe and can easily be made with a dangle attached to them. For our more conservative customers this is the perfect style for you. The traditional style of some of our Native American post earrings are a subtle and timeless addition to anyone's Native American Jewelry collection.
