It is important for Americans to buy Authentic American Turquoise Jewelry as it is one of our great American heritages. The Western American Frontier years of the past are very historic and one of the great events of the past was the Native American Indians of the Southwest learning and developing the Southwest Jewelry industry. It was in 1865 when a Navajo Blacksmith named Atsidi Sani learned how to make Silver Jewelry from the Spaniards when they were in this area on a quest for Silver and Gold. Shortly after Atsidi Sani began making Southwest Silver, he introduced Turquoise Jewelry and thus began authentic American Turquoise Jewelry, this was about 1870.

For over one hundred years the Native American Indians as well as other Southwestern Artisans and Southwest Silver produces continued making authentic American Turquoise Jewelry. It is just been in the recent years that Turquoise Jewelry from other areas of the world has been introduced to the American market, it is important to many, us included, that individuals realize the difference from Authentic American Turquoise Jewelry and fashion Turquoise Jewelry that is cheaply made to take advantage of a good market.
