Native American Jewelry
            ~Stones genuine
            ~Signed pieces
            ~Our pilgrimage to the reservations

Audrey and Karl have been personally visiting the Navajo Reservation for almost 3 decades. They meet with Native American artists and as jewelers themselves they hand pick and inspect each piece to make sure the stones and craftsmanship are only of the finest level for their clients. Art gallery H prides it’s self on offering the highest quality jewelry which is always a cut above and individually signed by the artist.

Taking care of your jewelry:  This piece of sterling silver jewelry is oxidized high polished and not sealed. It will naturally patina over time which gives it a duller sheen.  If you want more of the high polished look we recommend our Jewelry Polishing Cloth in accessories.

PERIDOT

Peridot is best known for its yellowish green color. Peridot is the gem variety of the mineral olivine. Its chemical composition includes iron and magnesium, and iron is the cause of its attractive yellowish green colors. The gem often occurs in volcanic rocks called basalts, which are rich in these two elements.

HEALING STONES

Often called the study stone, Peridot crystal healing properties are also known to increase mental focus by making the mind more receptive to learning new things. Keep Peridot in your workspace or office and always have constant access to its powerful properties that give you the strength to persevere, especially during times of challenging academic pursuits. It was also believed by the Romans to be a wonderful medicine for depression.

WHERE IT’S FROM

Although most of the peridot seen in jewelry today comes from sources such as China, Myanmar, Pakistan, Tanzania, Vietnam and the United States, some journied to Earth on meteorites while others are found in exotic locales like peridot Beach, Hawaii, where the sands shimmer a luminous green.

TURQUOISE
