Native American jewelry

1970's vintage / Navjo jewelry / Native American turquoise ring // KACHINA

I've been fancinated by native American jewelry for quite a while now ever since I saw a gorgeous squash blossom necklace in an antique shop when I was in New York. The colors of the turquoise, the change in color of the turquoise due to age and the patina of the silver makes me so wanna own one, but it's really expensive almost 800 bucks! and I can't afford to spend that much since I'm getting my own flat soon and we are going to pay the deposit.... (oh wells)

I found this really cool ring recently and had it listed up in the shop! It's made by Frank Yazzie, a Navajo silvermith. Handmade in sterling silver, set with robin egg blue turquoise and have lovely details- one of the nicest i'd ever purchased. FYI, turquoise is the birthstone for December babies!

new items in the shop!

i've to apologise for the lack of updates for this blog (though i'm not sure if anyone reads it..) but here i am with some Victorian era mourning jewelry and a few late 1900's pieces. I've been collecting scarce "Souvenir" pieces for a while now and i think it's time to sell them.- ( cause i'll be going for a trip to London and Durham in June!--so excited)

these will be up in the shop hopefully this week!
