Navajo jewelry is a traditional form of art created by the Navajo Nation, a Native American tribe in the southwestern United States. It often features materials like silver, turquoise, and other gemstones, reflecting the tribe's rich cultural heritage. The jewelry includes items such as bracelets, necklaces, and rings, often showcasing intricate designs and craftsmanship. The techniques used in Navajo jewelry have been passed down through generations, with silversmithing becoming prominent in the late 19th century. Each piece often tells a story or represents elements of nature, spirituality, or tribal identity, making it not just decorative but also meaningful.
