Native American jewelry is not just about fashion and beauty. The aesthetic of Native American designs is timeless. It is as varied as the artists who create it and it reflects their rich cultural heritage and history. It is this diversity that makes jewelry from tribes such as the Navajo, Hopi or Zuni tribes of the southwest so unique. These pieces speak to the history and heritage of the culture as a whole but also to the individual stories of the artists themselves.

The talented artists of the many tribes of the southwest are undoubtedly the cornerstone of the Native American jewelry and crafts industry. In fact it goes without saying that without their amazing creativity and craftsmanship that the industry would not exist at all.

One of the biggest names in Native American Jewelry is Artie Yellowhorse. Her designs perfectly couple contemporary design and aesthetics with the rich heritage and culture of the Navajo tribe. Her work has won numerous awards and is featured in several museums around the nation. Currently The Naja is the only jewelry store in Sedona with permission to carry Artie Yellowhorse designs.

The beauty and majesty of the southwest has been captivating visitors and residents alike for centuries. It is no wonder then that the Jewelry and crafts of the native tribes of the southwest should reflect the vibrance and character found in its natural beauty.
