American Indian Earrings by Durango Silver Company

American Indian Earrings and American Indian Jewelry are an American heritage that have been handed down from the American Indians of Southwest regions of the United States since about 1870. The American Indians as well as many others in the Southwestern USA have made an industry out of American Indian Turquoise Jewelry and it is known throughout the world for its unique qualities. American Indian Jewelry is made with American Turquoise from Arizona and Nevada and is set in Sterling Silver. There are many styles of American Indian Jewelry which is made by Native Navajo Indians, Zuni Indians and the Hopi Indians of the American Southwestern United States.

Turquoise was discovered by the American Indians of the Southwest in Arizona and New Mexico as early as 300 B.C. Turquoise was used early on in ceremonies and by medicine men for healing. The Native American Indians worshipped the gemstone and believed is was put on earth from the great ones above. As Turquoise became more plentiful the American Indians began working the Turquoise into Turquoise Beads and soon, other items that they could wear. Turquoise has played an important roll in the Southwest regions of America for over 2000 years! American Indian Earrings with quality Turquoise are one of our specialties here at Durango Silver Company, this informational page is meant to help you gain some important knowledge directly related to American Indian Earrings.
