America's Best kept Secret - American Indian Art

One of America's Best kept Secrets is The American Indians exceptional ability to create Art.

The American Indian has been plagued by war and hunger for centuries. Before the Europeans came to settle in America and battle the Indians for their land, the Indians had been fighting with the Spanish Conquistador as well as with neighboring tribes. Yet, through all their turmoil, the American Indian continued to craft jewelry to adorn themselves and others. The simplistic beauty of the jewelry created by the Indians, has changed little over the centuries. Possibly the greatest reason for the continued popularity for Indian jewelry today.

One of the popular trends in jewelry this year is semi-precious gem stone jewelry. Gem stone nugget necklaces have been fashionable in the American southwest for many years, this year of course is no exception. Arizona Indian jewelry and Bearlanders Trading co have been offering gemstone jewelry to the public for the past two years, at affordable prices. This year, one of our artists has added a slight variation to the popular nugget necklaces.

For those of you who may not know, Taina is one of our most prolific artists. Taina has been creating and crafting the art of her jewelry for many years. A Native American of the Navajo tribe, Taina learned the art of crafting jewelry ( called stringing ) from her mother. An art form passed down from generation to generation.
We have just received the "Newest Merchandise" from Taina, Semi-precious gemstone jewelry with animal totems. A 'totem' is an animal or object which humans can most relate to, such as a bear, turtle, an arrowhead or even a stone. Totems are thought to bring spiritual and mental growth, healing and protection.
