Jewelry is such an individual thing, we give you a selection ranging from very artistic to very simple. The more expensive pieces are certainly outstanding works, but so are they all. Wear any of this Southwestern Native American Jewelry with pride!
Three individual jewelers are featured on our pages–Ben Nighthorse Campbell, Cody Hunter and Clarence Lee.
We have selected the Ben Nighthorse Collection because of our taste for the best. The Senator's designs have won many prizes and have been recognized by the finest galleries. We are proud to be the Internet's exclusive dealer for his work. Besides the "Collection" pages, we have the entire, 12-page Ben Nighthorse Catalog, including over 200 pieces of this premier, Native American Jeweler.
Clarence Lee has also won many ribbons in the recognized shows. However, his sterling silver jewelry is primarily in the area of storyteller bracelets, pins and broaches. His whimsical illustration of everyday Navajo life is truly a gift. Favorite pieces include Clarence's Billy Goat, and his Navajo Family Pickup Truck. Russell, the son, is now an active partner with his father.
Cody Hunter has been receiving awards for his exquisite 14K overlay on sterling jewelry, including awards at the Heard Museum Show and at the Santa Fe Indian Market. Cody lives at the mouth of Canyon de Chelly, the Navajo monument on the edge of Chinle, AZ. Cody is also a competitive rodeo horseman. These experiences are incorporated into his jewelry, enriching them with scenes depicting the Canyon monoliths, family hogans in the Canyon, and horses running freely among the rocks.
We also feature a larger group of Navajo, Hopi and Zuni jewelers, selected to give you a wide spectrum of preferences and tastes. You'll find a range of prices, including pieces of all silver, of silver and gold combined, many set with turquoise and other semi-precious stones. These are grouped into a separate area.
An important factor–all of our jewelry is hand made by Native Americans working in the Southwest.
