Amongst the american indian jewelry from the southwest of the USA you will find a lot of beautiful pieces. The artists combine ancient traditions with a particular feeling of style and colour, and so create pieces of obvious origin and individual feature. This gallery is dedicated to these artists.

Beside the typical Navajo jewelry with beautiful turquoises and other stones you can see the artistic inlay- and Needlepoint-works of the Zuni, as well as the Hopi Overlay style with prehistoric symbols, and finally some works by Navajo silversmith Peter Nelson, who won several awards.

Hope you enjoy it!
