Native American Jewelry Note: Many of these are all old estate items. They had belonged to my sister-in-law. Over the years, she traveled throughout our Southwest and, though not a collector, acquired a few choice items for her own use, buying old pawn from trading posts and, sometimes, buying directly from the artisans. |
