Native American Jewelry
Native American tribes in New York (the Seneca, Iroquois, Cayuga and the Onondaga) began turning European Silver coins into Native American Jewelry at the beginning of the 17th century.
It is said that the western tribes were introduced to silver in the 1800's, when travelers asked that silver coins be used to make items of jewelry. The most popular Native American Jewelry today features Silver and Turquoise.
One of my favorite places to shop for Native American Jewelry is Bearlanders Trading Co. Merchandise is shipped with a "Spiritual Meaning" card and/or a "Certificate of authenticity".
