Turquoise has constant appeal. The colour ranges from sky blue to sea green and it is prized for its beauty and connection to nature and positive characteristics.

Our timeless collection features some traditional Navajo-inspired designs, which look surprisingly modern.

Wearing earrings was part of the American Indian culture. Children usually had their ears pieced in their first year of life in a ceremonial rite of great significance. Earrings were given sometimes as a reward or offering and were a sign of deep feeling between the wearer and the giver.

Our Dreamcatchers are handmade by Native Americans. Legend says they are believed to catch, filter and preserve your cherished dreams. Hang one above your bed or window and it is said bad spirits or dreams will get caught in the web and dissolve with the morning sun. Dreamcatchers are believed to bless the sleeping one with pleasant dreams, harmony and good luck to follow them throughout their lives. They are often given to friends or family. They are also given to newborn babies and hung from their cots to keep them safe and secure.

We also offer medicine shields, medicine bags, mandellas, mini headdresses, smudge sticks and delightful sepia prints and postcards featuring Native Americans in traditional dress. The warbonnet is the best known and most universal of Indian regalia. The flare type bonnet was originally developed and used by the tribes of the northeastern and central plains. Great emphasis was placed on acts of bravery and each brave feat gave the warrior the right to wear an eagle feather. The bravest and most successful warriors counted enough feathers to enable them to assemble a warbonnet. Contact us for availability of large mandellas and headdresses.
