Growing up in New Mexico I came to love the Native American culture and the art of jewelry craftsmanship. My best friend grew up on the Navajo Reservation. His family often visited our home in Austin and I loved the fun, food and friendship we had.

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
With all Native jewelry just use a good silver polishing cloth the give your pieces highlights or a good shine.
I use Windex and an old tooth brush to clean and remove body oils, dirt grime and whatever before using a polishing cloth.
You should never use a liquid dip type silver cleaner on Native jewelry. It will ruin and discolor the stones and the silver will tarnish faster and make it more difficult to regain a bright shine.
Paste silver cleaners just leave a white residue in the cracks and crevices of the piece which is next to impossible to get out.
Just the cloth and a little therapy time occasionally with keep things looking good.
Putting pieces in a tight zip lock baggie helps slow down the tarnish.
Keep patina on vintage.
