Native American Jewelry - The Southwest
By Tarl Michael, Sat Dec 10th

For several years, I have had the fortunate opportunity to be apurchasing agent for Bearlanders Native American Indian jewelry& gifts. I have enjoyed the Southwest for the past 47 years andI would like to bring a part of that experience to you.

The American Southwest has some of the most unusual andbeautiful sites in America. You will find awe in the whetherworn walls of the Grand Canyon, (Arizona) and beautiful redsandstone in Zion (Utah). Since earth’s creation, the wind andthe water have carved beauty in the landscape, the likes ofwhich no man could duplicate. Valleys so deep, you could fit thetallest skyscraper. With just about every color imaginable,blues, reds, greens, browns and purples scattered though thesides of the cliff walls. You see trees (scrub pine) growing outthe side of the canyon walls, hanging on by only 1/2-inch roots.One could question how or why they exist there. There is waterrunning through many of the canyons year round. With paths andtrails to be hiked by all ages. For a rock collector, you couldfill your pockets until your pants fell down. Or until your backgrew so tired from the weight of the backpack filled withmagnificent little treasures. No doubt the national park servicedoesn’t condon filling your pockets or backpack with rocks. Butthe west is vast and there are many little jagged treasures tobe found.

The Mogillion rim is located roughly half way between Phoenixand Flagstaff and is every bit as inspiring as the Grand Canyon.Located near Strawberry (Arizona), overlooking the Mogillion,the rich, thick forest resembles a beautiful dark green carpet.Using your imagination, you can picture many places a cowboycould hide from hostile Indians. Better yet, picture the beautyof vast plateau's and deep gorge's where Indians, Soldiers andCowboys alike, of the 1700, 1800 and early1900's traveled andmade camp. When thinking of the southwest many only picturedesert and scorching heat. Not so in this beautiful highcountry. No doubt the temperature never reaches the low 80's.When you hear the word Arizona or American southwest, you nolonger need to imagine desert, tumble weeds, snakes andunbearable heat. Now picture rich green forests, cool weatherand the skies at night filled with so many stars it would take alifetime to count them all. While watching the stars, you willstill hear the howls of the coyote calling to the night sky. Inthe southwest and Arizona you will still find American Indians,not with

bow and arrow in hand, but selling their handcraftedgoods at road side rest stops. The American Indians have beencrafting jewelry, pottery and carved items for centuries, an artthat has been passed down from generation to generation.


While traveling I have purchased handcrafted, Native Americanjewelry as gifts for my family and friends. I have beenintrigued by the fact that Native American Indians havehandcrafted for centuries and are still making theirjewelry by hand. In the 1800's a Mexican Silversmith taught theIndians of the southwest how to use silver in their jewelrywork. I realized that not everyone could visit and enjoy theSouthwest or afford much of the Indian and handcraftedgoods. As many know, handcrafted Indian can range inprice from $2 to as much as $10,000 and more. Fortunately, Ihave found a wonderful source to supply beautifully handcraftedIndian from the Southwest, at very affordable prices.

American Indian is crafted with just about everygemstone imaginable, including everything from Amber, Amethyst,Jasper, Opal, Tiger Eye and of course Turquoise. Turquoise hasbeen mined and used as far back as 5000 B.C. Turquoise jewelryis as popular today as it has been for centuries. Turquoise issaid to have many healing properties, which is one of thereasons for its popularity and use in so many cultures, for somany centuries. All gemstones are said to have spiritual andmedicinal healing properties.
