Harvey
Vintage Silver and
Turquoise Southwest Jewelry
In the history of the Southwest, Fred Harvey is an important figure.
It was he who built beautiful hotels across the Southwest
making travel comfortable... possible.
Two
wonderful Fred Harvey Hotels are still operating. El Tovar
on the
south rim of the Grand Canyon and La
Posada are
both fun to visit.
La
Posada is located yards from the tracks of the
Santa Fe
and Burlington Rail Road in
Winslow, Arizona. The
entrance to the Hotel faces the Railroad.
From
the early 1900's to the 1950's Fred
Harvey
sold jewelry. Some of the earliest Southwest Jewelry
produced by Hopi, Navajo and Zuni
silversmiths for commerce.

The
Fred Harvey pages above are from "Southwest Silver Jewelry"
by Baxter. Fred Harvey Jewelry from the Sedona Indian Jewelry
collection was photographed atop the book pages.
Curiously, not many fine examples of Fred Harvey jewelry remain.
The
Fred Harvey jewelry presented here is from that period,
early 1900's to the 1950's.
