Navajo Turquoise Bracelets

The Navajo Native American Indians began making silver jewelry in 1865 when Atsidi Sani, Blacksmith, learned the trade from the Spaniards who were in this area in search for Silver and Gold. The Navajo began making Turquoise Bracelets around the late 1890's after the first Turquoise stone had been set in silver. Around this time Native American Jewelry was not in it's infant stages, but Silver Jewelry made by Native American Indians was. These early Turquoise Bracelets would have been hand forged from ingot or sandcast and would have been more crude in form. Navajo Turquoise Bracelets have become highly valued by Jewelry collectors worldwide. Since the introduction of the Internet the demand for Navajo Turquoise Bracelets has escalated dramatically. Durango Silver Company specializes in high quality Turquoise Jewelry made in America and Navajo Turquoise Bracelets are one of our favorite styles of American Jewelry!
