The Navajo tradition of making silver and turquoise jewelry is a distinctive and highly regarded art form that has its roots in the late 19th century. Initially influenced by Mexican silversmithing techniques, Navajo artisans embraced the craft and transformed it into a unique expression of their cultural identity.
Navajo silversmiths, known for their exceptional craftsmanship, began working with silver coins acquired through trade with Anglo-Americans. This marked the beginning of a fusion between traditional Navajo designs and the use of silver, eventually evolving into the iconic Navajo silver and turquoise jewelry we recognize today.
