New Website Explores the Incredible History and Rich Tradition Associated with Native American Silver Jewelry
(PRWEB) July 29, 2013 -- A new website has just been launched that explains the history and design of the Native American silver jewelry. According to the new NativeAmericanSilverJewelry.net, its sophistication is in high demand and sometimes hard to find in certain areas of the world.
The new site is an excellent place for jewelry collectors to find information about Native American silver jewelry that fits anyone’s need or style.
"Native American silver jewelry has been inlayed with turquoise and beads for thousands of years," says spokesperson Delilah Carson. "In those times bracelets were the most popular and the easiest piece of jewelry for the Native Americans to make. Necklaces were the second in line but rarely did anyone see rings. As the Native American jewelry makers became more skilled, smaller pieces of jewelry like anklets and ring were created. It wasn't until later these rings became popular."
Native American silver rings became stylish and were used to show status or affiliation with a particular group. This is the time when turquoise began to appear in jewelry. "These rings are very spiritual and have been used as currency as some point in time," says Carson. "There are several rings available on the market today that are not expensive and the design can range from simple to sophisticate. The meaning and craftsmanship has been passed down to later generations."
Since the influence of the Spanish who brought the idea of silversmiths to the Native American tribes, it changed the way their jewelry was made. The silver earrings for instance have become the fashion trend for many women to complement their style. This style has come a long way from earlier years when the tribes had to purchase or trade their livestock to the Spaniards to get silver coins to create these authentic pieces of jewelry.
