A LEGACY IN GEMS • This section dedicated to Native American jewelry never ceases to inspire and amaze. Besides the significance of history and culture tied into each piece, jewelry is unique in that it’s wearable art. Native American jewelry is especially lavish, with most pieces adorned in natural gemstones such as turquoise, coral, pearl, jade and malachite. Across tribes, tradition and technique are passed down, providing a glimpse into the past and the legacy that echoes throughout each work of art. This section offers a look at contemporary and historic works in a variety of themes and styles, ranging from bolo ties and belts, to necklaces, rings and cuffs. And they are all available for purchase.
