Navajo jewelry - part 1 of 2
September 20, 2008 by Dianne.
The Navajos have long been known for their great skill in jewelry making. At the festival we attended there were several people who were displaying and selling some of their wares. In the first photo you will notice that the necklaces are a combination of beads and polished stones and that many of the polished stones are in the shape of the arrowheads the artisans’ ancestors used when hunting buffalo and other animals for food and skins.
In the photo below you will see bracelets and more necklaces, some of which consist of beads woven together and others that have semi-precious polished stones
The third photo is of our friend Mary Ellen and me. She had just purchased one of the necklaces and was so pleased with it that she wanted to wear it right away.
