Navajo & Zuni Jewelry

Navajo and Zuni Jewelry – What Makes It Unique?

The Navajo and Zuni cultures both originated in the Southwestern region of the United States. The Zuni people are originally from the Zuni River Valley in present-day New Mexico, while Navajo tribes lived primarily in the Four Corners region.

These two tribes have preserved their history and culture over the centuries. The art of jewelry silversmithing is part of their rich heritage.

Navajo and Zuni jewelry is unique because it comes from a long tradition and is rich in symbols. Navajo jewelers have worked with silver for centuries, originally by hammering or melting silver coins. Turquoise is also a common material in Navajo jewelry because this gemstone represents health and protection.
