Take a trip with us down old Route 66 to a remote desert where the Pueblo Tribes of the American Southwest have been crafting small batches of handmade jewelry in their homes for over 200 years. Native artists use vibrant stones from local mines to express their culture and the spirit of the land. In this place, traditions and milestones are celebrated in Sterling Silver, and cherished pieces are handed down to the next generation of adventure seekers.

Spiny Oyster Shell: The Spiny Oyster Shell is named for the spiny protuberances (up to 2 inches long) that cover the outer shell of the mollusk. Colors of the shell range from a bright orange, to a rich red, and a deep purple. Spiny oyster shells are found in the Gulf of California.

A Perfect Gift: The Pueblo tribes believe that Native American jewelry is to be given in thanks and friendship. To make your gift as thoughtful as possible, we include a map and educational material with each order.
