Historically, Navajo jewelry is an important part of the Navajo people's cultural heritage. A Navajo necklace, bracelet, or earrings was worn to reflect a person's cultural identity, status, or wealth.
Today, Navajo jewelry is immensely popular among native peoples and non-natives alike, fusing fashion, historical significance, legend, religion, and culture into a beautiful piece of artwork. Most of the Navajo jewelry you'll see online was designed decades ago. These were meticulously crafted by talented artists who were taught traditional ways of silversmithing and working with stones by the artists who came before them. If you find a vintage or antique Navajo jewelry piece, you have found a one-of-a-kind work of art!
These older pieces were crafted primarily for their own use or to trade with other tribes.
