My heart is still in the southwest.

Hello All, After surviving a “terrible for traveling,” winter here in the Midwest, I am ready for spring. Unfortunately, that is not to be, as we have more snow coming in. Thank God I have been able to travel several times to the southwest for sunshine, moderate temperatures and beautiful Native American Jewelry. My artisan friends have been busy creating wearable works of art and blessing me with their wisdom and serenity. I often get caught up in the manic, busy life, of cell phones, computer conferencing and plane schedules. But all I have to do is admire there jewelry and it takes me back to conversations, red rock cathedrals, gorgeous blue skies, quiet walks and lots of laughter. Sometimes I think I appreciate the southwest more being away from it.

When I visit and watch silversmiths at work I am constantly amazed at how they lose themselves in their work and these pieces of silver and stone come alive in the hands of these masters. Frequently a dull gray stone is cut and polished into a striking blue turquoise nugget. Then this beautiful nugget is surrounded by rain drops, scrolls or a lacy overlay to make it into an incredible pendant or ring. Some artists enjoy working alone, communing only with nature and the elements. Others enjoy a workshop with others in the community, sharing ideas, enjoying feedback and encouragement. No factories here, no assembly lines, only American Indian individual artisans bringing us dreamcatchers, rings and bracelets from their minds eye with their blood, sweat and tears. Some jewelry is pretty, valuable or chic but not much is authentically American like Native American Jewelry. I guess my heart is still in the dessert. Debbie

Best Native American Jewelry

The beautiful colors of fall match so perfectly with my Native American Jewelry. Why is it that so many of us are too busy to enjoy the natural beauty all around us. I guess we are all guilty of frequently missing the best things in life. I am so thrilled to be able to see and enjoy the beauty and fine workmanship of the Best Native American Jewelry. No knock-offs here! I have brought, from the various reservations throughout America, the most beautiful pieces of jewelry . I hand select each piece and some beauties I keep for myself... but my personal collection has gotten too big, so I mostly photograph and describe for you these great finds.

Native American Jewelry the Real Thing

It is interesting that today I received an email from someone on the doubledeedeals.com website. I often have people contact me via email, but I often get questioned about the genuineness of the Native American Jewelry that I promote. I started to give an automatic answer and than thought I should include a more detailed explanation for my confidence in the authenticity of all the bracelets, necklaces, men's rings, women's rings, pendants, watches and other pieces on www.doubledeedeals.com. It is my great joy to know many of the individual artisans that make these beautiful works of Native American Jewelry art. I have had the privilege of watching them forge the Sterling Silver settings, select and polish the individual stones and inlay the pieces of Turquoise and Gem stone. Some Native Jewelry artisans work on their own and many work in workshops, but all the Native American Jewelry,(including bolo ties, Mr Jackson)are individually created by American Indian Jewelry Artists. You can shop with confidence at doubledeedeals.com knowing that you are buying genuine Native American Jewelry. This is my business and my passion; genuine, authentic, original, and absolutely gorgeous American Indian Jewelry. I love these pieces:

Native American Jewelry: abit about Turquoise

 Turquoise is classified as a hydrous phosphate, in the same category as apatite, mimetite, pytomorphite and variscite, to name a few.  Turquoise was formed when water trickled through a host rock many years ago, leaving behind deposits of copper, aluminum and zinc. Copper is the important mineral  that dictates the color  the Turquoise will be. From pale powdery blue to deep green and every shade in between it is all determined by the amount of copper in the mineral makeup. However if  there is more aluminum added the color tends to be  more green or white. If zinc is present in greater amounts the stone has a more yellow-green appearance and becomes harder. Here are some examples of beautiful and different colors of Turquoise from the DoubleDeeDeals website: Make these pieces part of your fall wardrobe or start your holiday shopping early!
