- Since this upcoming weekend is the Santa Fe Indian Market Weekend, I figured a perfect video to make would be a video giving an INTRODUCTION to Native American Jewelry.
This is a very complex topic to talk about, but I like a challenge & as a silversmith's son, I have some insight into Native American jewelry. Essentially, I share what I know about the history, the different styles of jewelry, stones employed, etc.
The point of this video is to help give some info about this subject. I hope you enjoy this video.
This was so helpful thank you so much for making this video!
Love that you use the Navajo words to describe the jewelry. Good to know the language is alive. Thank you for the video!
You are awesome!! My aunt passed away and left me her jewelry when I was in the 6th grade. I remember seeing it before I inherited it and have always thought it to be very beautiful. Forty years later, I moved to live with my Chippewa Boyfriend in Arizona. He always take me to Native American events and it was there I realised my aunt had left me Native American jewelry. A Navajo Silversmith had a booth and spotted it on my wrist and he told me that was really impressive work. This video has educated me even farther. I am so happy and proud to recognize what I have. It is a prized possession!!
That is the coolest video. I don't know why it came to my mind, but I wanted to look at some Native American jewelry, and I have not done that in years. It so beautiful. After watching this video, Native American jewelry is even more beautiful knowing and understanding more. Thanks!
I can't even begin to comment on the beauty of this video
You are awesome, thank you for sharing this knowledge and doing so along with your native language as it was wonderful to see these words in written form and spoken too.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about Native American Jewelry. Love all the pieces you show us. Keep posting more videos please.
Thank you so much for explaining this is simple and honest ways. I love Native American jewelry but have a hard time learning about the different aspects of it, so I am not always certain of what I buy. Now I know more about what I have bought and will certainly be more discerning.
You are definitely a great teacher, I really learned alot from your 411! Thankx alot!
Great presentation. Perfect for those of us who are new to this amazing art form.
Hi Daybreakwarrior, I thoroughly enjoyed your educational video. Thank you for sharing your history and culture.
So very informative and helpful to me now! I'm assembling my daughter's college graduation present, building on a small collection she inherited from her grandmother. They're Chickasaw, but almost all the jewelry will be Navajo!
So informative! Thanks for teaching us all the neat history, and about the details in the designs ~
You have such a lovely teaching style. Thanks!
Fantastic! I loved learning all this information. How I would live to attend the Santa Fe Indian Market 😍😍😍
Miigwech brother. I am happy to find your knowledge here. 🙏🥰😊🙏

You have a real talent for teaching. Your two videos in this series are simply top-notch. Informative and highly interesting.
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you for sharing all this knowledge.
I've just watched both of your videos and I found them both extremely interesting and informative. Thankyou
Glad to see a friendly approach. This helps people authenticate the pieces, too.
Thank you so much for making this 💗 The information is incredible!
I really enjoyed this video and will surely watch it again!

Really great presentation of all this fabulous history. Lot's of interesting facts that I enjoyed learning about. Thanks!
Excellent commentary, very informative! Thank you.
Very good and helpful, thank you so much. Wonderful work.
Beautifully done video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge of this beautiful art. This was so informative.
Thank you for a genuinely interesting and informative video! Clearly you understand your subject very deeply but using categories and comparing tribal distinctions within these really helped me find a place to start from in learning more about American Indian jewelry-making. I've seen your channel and while you've got a lot of interesting videos I'm looking forward to watching, I want to encourage you to think about a new series with a clear focus and frequent updates because other people need to find you and hear your voice.
Very informative and interesting! I'm going to the Navajo territory in 2 weeks, so excited! Thanks for the video!
Best video on SW jewelry on CZcams
Great video! Very informative. Thank you!
Very informative and great video. Thank you very much
This is really cool! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for your knowledgeable information. I have a needle point ring bought from a famous Indian artist and until today, from your video, I finally know it is a complicated piece of art. Thank you so much for your hard work.
Great presentation! Thank you.
Thank you So much for this really informative video, I love all your pieces especially the Bolo your parents made.
This is amazing. Thank you so much! I’m trying to learn more, so I can understand the value of a squash blossom of my Mothers, (unsigned). And also, because I am a self teaching jewelry making, and I’ve always adored turquoise! I’ve subscribed!
Wonderfully informative.

Holy crap, how did it take me so long to find this video? I was looking for Doris Yazzie, since I bought a knife about the same time you posted this video and was wondering what she was up to. Cheers for the video and keeping it up on file.

I’m a few years late to this post, but better late than never. Thank you for such a thorough yet concise explanation. The additional photos really help too. I just acquired a piece from B. Cayaditto, a Navajo silversmith who I hear was active in the 1970’s. Do you know anything about him/her?
Thomas Curtis was my Nalí!!! ❤️😇
Thank you.
The bolo tie your parents made is beautiful

Cj very beautiful native american jewelry
One American Indian women invited me in a vision to her family get together. It was on a hill in the 4 corners area. She wanted to show her family her new baby with her husband. So they waited until the right time bubble to come to the hill. The happy parents on top with the new baby and as you look down the hill you see each generation going back 9 generations. The oldest grandparents were at the lowest time. They had lots of trees and green plants the Earth was healthy at their time. Each generation got to talk and see each other at their times in one big bubble of same time sharing. They talked about important family business and planning over 9 generations together. It was what I call a Miracle. What they call family time together. Of course they have to show the new child off to all the generations past and new generations to come. I was looking at how dry brush the same land became by modern times. It will be sand by the time the baby shows the next generation. But it was so beautiful to see all the generations talking together they found this time travel opening so they could use it while they were alive to be with their family.
It's available on their website & the info is in the information bar of this video
Hi, my name is Savannah Cheney! I’m Native American and have been wanting to find someone that would be willing to teach me..I would love to take a class from you!
The jewelry is beautiful. Especially the silver bolo. Where can I buy some of your parent's jewelry?
Love your videos, can you tell me about native mark it's a T with a half C on my ring?
Do you have any apache jewelry or can you please show some or tell me where to look for some.Thank you I like how you show the jewelry of your people.Storm
Super cool that your family does clan jewelery. Do you guys only do your clan? I'm cliff dweller and many goats.
Just got back from santa Fe market 2022
I enjoyed your show I was wondering why you didn't indicate the Cherokee Nation did they not make jewelry thank you
If I gave you the name W Dodson from inside a watch band would you know anything about them? If not where would be a starting place? I purchased this band in the late 1970s .
7:05 for overlay jewelry, what does the bottom mid pattern means?
Hello. My mother gave me this beautiful turquoise ring. I have had it for 20 years. People always ask me where the stone came from. The artist is named "B. Robbins." I would like to know this silversmith .thank you for your program.
Hey!! we got same first clan :)
Are you able to polish nickle silver in the same fashion as sterling
I wonder how Heishi stones were ground and made flat and uniform in size in the days before electric tools.
can anyone tell me where in new york i can buy navajo jewellery.
Omg!
I typed in the search bar about Native American Ring Making. And found this video.
As i make all things from Blacksmithing, to timber work. A maker of sorts...
Do you know more about Thomas Curtis please?
I am Matt Curtis from the UK... I had my DNA tested as i never fitted in with my skin, and wanted to settle my mind and find out my ancestors.
Turns out that the highest majority of DNA results turns out to be Native American from the Navajo region.
Your help would be great, as i have came to a cirlce on my tree.
matt curtis how are u from the uk and have native american blood...??? U know the navajo are japanese right...especially their linguistics.
the same way some of the British have American lineage. Some of the British went back after getting their groove on over here and spreading their DNA. its very possible he may be linked to Thomas Curtis BUT Curtis is a really common last name so his search might or might not take a while.
Icee WTH?!
I’ve never heard that, that isn’t true!
Many words to searches
The history of the names ( religion systems to erase )
Systems of schools ( forgets yours , learn just English culture )
Etc .
Lenguaje to establish identity . Every objet came ancient cultures
I have a pendant found with a metal detector.. seems pretty old and I cannot seem identify either maker or tribe 😥
I have a Allison Navajo sterling silver belt...it’s saying $750 on line?!? Can this be right!? I got it for free from some one giving away old clothes.
???
by the way Atsidi Sani is the ancestor of Carl Gorman the oldest of the first group of code talkers and also an artist and his son R.C Gorman a very well known Navajo artist, and Michael Gorman who is a sculptor photographer potter and silversmith in Taos NM
carl is not on record as the oldest of the first group but that is because he lied about his age so the age the military had him at going in was incorrect, he was afraid he would not be allowed to serve for being to old going in
Atsidi Sani was Carl Gorman grandfather on the paternal side, and R.Cs great grandfather on the paternal side, and Michales great, great grandfather
Just like my grannies stuff..most of it
Where can u get real turquoise beads?
Very good information!! Thanks. I am interested in Energy - talking stones. I was studying Edgar Cayce work with stones. I bought some lapis lazuli with Azurites and I started having visions of very ancient Egyptian priests. I know American Indians are very good at their visions works as well as their non local communication. Like you open a tunnel and can talk to hundreds of miles away people just like they are standing near you. And you can see them hundreds of miles away also. Better then phones. I want some stones in turquoise that help my vision communication work. The only other beings who talk this way are animals, and little three finger grey aliens. Some like the ones on the moon. I know this tunnel talking and seeing is a more advanced intelligences. I just want to know what kind of stones help people with it. Thanks _ ( ) _
Grace Serena Christie That is very good, it’s the connection with the earth and its energies, everyone has this ability, but most have “forgotten” where Natives still practice working with natural energies.
Has anyone a good source for native american jewelry, where I can support the right people and not any large companies?
