New Added Service: Letter Engraving
We now have the ability to do engraved lettering on many of our jewelry pieces. Please contact me directly to discuss how we might add words or lettering to personalize your purchase.

Note On Our Products
All of these jewelry pieces are made from scratch and done completely by hand. I only use basic hand tools and hand-made stamps for the engraving. There are no molds, no electric engraving tools, etc. This art from was created by Native Americans beginning in the mid-1800s and continues to this day. The basic material is “German silver”, also known as “nickel silver” and various other names, an alloy of nickel, zinc, and copper – the preferred metal medium used by Plains Native Americans. Although there is no sterling silver in this metal, it polishes to a high sheen with the look of sterling but at a significantly reduced price.

I also incorporate brass in some of the jewelry which creates a yellow-metal look similar to gold.

Upcoming Events
Like all of you, we at the American Indian Room are holding our breaths with hope that we’ll all be able to return to a normal life by early this summer. Once we’re at that level we expect regularly scheduled annual events to once again be announced for the remainder of 2021. Stay tuned to our Blogs for public events we plan to attend as vendors so we might meet you in person.

Thanks!
