DESCRIPTION

Starting with a traditional braided leather bolo tie, this piece holds a center Royston turquoise stone that highlights the Royston mine colors that the stone is known for mixtures of blue and green with the brown matrix.

The center stone is set in a heavy gauged, hand cut, notched and polished sterling silver bezel. The edge of the bezel is deep notched and 11 hand placed sterling silver rain drop beads are placed along the top and bottom edge. Twisted sterling rope wire accents the center stone sides. The stone has been polished to its brilliance. This is a natural stone that has been smoothed and polished out and not filled with a plastic epoxy filler.

We travel to New Mexico, the Native American jewelry capital of the world, and visit other artists throughout the Southwest 4 to 5 times a year to purchase direct from the traders or the artists themselves. My mother was born and raised in the West and still lives and works in the Grand Canyon. The Native Americans have always been a part of our lives and we have always surrounded ourselves with their culture and beautiful works of art.

All of our items are bought directly from individual artists or from well established, well known wholesalers and traders between Gallup, the reservations, Santa Fe and Albuquerque. We love to buy directly from the artists so we can support their craft as well as provide them a living for their incredible talents. It helps to bypass the middleman so we can send money back to our adopted families at the reservation.

It is against the law to post an item as authentic Native American if it is not. We do our best to describe each piece by the description, where it came from and the artist. We guarantee you will not find any fake, cheap or imported jewelry on our site. All of our items are Authentic Native works of art. All of our jewelry contains genuine silver, silver, gold and contains no pot metal, nickel, rhodium, pewter or other precious metal substitutes.
