Spiny oyster has been commonly used in Native American jewelry for thousands of years. It’s multi color varieties are native to the America’s with individual colors being only available from certain areas. The tribal tradesmen from up and down the coasts often traded with spiny oyster as a form of currency. It is said that the combination of all the spiny oyster colors adorned together encompasses mind and spirit while bringing peace and unity. The beautiful Navajo Pearls are sterling silver beads traditionally made by Native American Navajo (Diné) silversmiths. Native American tribes were introduced to the technique of silversmithing by Spanish explorers in the late 1500’s. They then added this newly found craftsmanship to their traditional methods of bead making, leading to what we continue to admire today as sterling silver Navajo desert pearls. What set the Navajo Pearls apart from other beads is the light oxidized finish to the beads that lends character and depth to the finished piece. They are often paired with gemstones or mixed with multiple sizes and shapes to create beautiful patterns from simple to complex.
