Gold Turquoise Jewelry

Southwest Native American Gold Jewelry is a relatively new idea... it first appeared in the late 1970's.
Up until then (from the 1840's forward), all Southwest Indian Jewelry was made from silver...
except for the occasional piece made from cooper.

However, in the 1970's there was an explosion of interest in genuine Native American Southwest
 Turquoise jewelry. That period was a time of a stagnant US economy, 18% interest rates, $850/oz gold
and $35/oz silver. The Wall Street Journal touted Southwest Indian jewelry as more then beautiful,
 but as a solid investment form. Frankly, time has proven the Wall Street Journal right.

Great silversmiths of the time, whose jewelry originally sold for a few hundred to a few thousand dollars
 now commands substantially more. The best pieces simply do not go down in value. The supply is thin and the
demand great... even a slight drop in price is cause for a long term collector to step up and buy.

Goldsmiths are always those artists at the top of their craft. Making gold jewelry requires a significant
 investment with no guarantee of a return. Artists will put their best effort into gold jewelry with
 the finest turquoise and coral the artist has to offer.
