This site has information on Native Indian American made Jewelry from the Southwestern regions of the United States. We also provide links to informational Native American Indian sites that provide exceptional information we believe our visitors appreciate.

We take great pride in promoting authentic Southwestern Jewelry made by Native American Indians and Contemporary Artists of the Southwest U.S. It is important today to consider that there is a increasing amount of Turquoise Jewelry being imported into the United States and being sold as Native Indian American made. This imported Jewelry is often beautiful and of good quality, but, it should be promoted for it is!

Native Indian, American made Jewelry as well as Turquoise Jewelry that is made by Contemporary Artists of the American Southwest has appeal by collectors for many good reasons. Southwestern Jewelry artists are very conscientious of their Turquoise being real and natural, they take great pride in each individual piece that they make and they put their heart and soul into their craft. It is important to American collectors that when they buy a piece of Native American Jewelry that they are getting what they paid for.

John Hartman, the owner of this site started collecting western memorabilia when he was 12 years old. Being from the Southwest, he used the money from his newspaper route to amass a tremendous Native American Indian collection of Plains Indian, Pueblo Indian and Southwestern Indian items and a marvelous library.
By the age of 25, John and his wife Estell built one of the finest Indian Trading Posts in the American Southwest. After 37 years of trading with the Native American Indians and peoples of the four corners regions of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah – John, Estell, Dillon (Son) and Nattarika (Dillon’s wife) work hard daily in the Trading Post as well as on the Internet dealing in Native Indian and American made arts from the American Southwest. We invite you to visit our online presentation of some of America’s best Turquoise Jewelry.
