Our Navajo collection isn’t just one of our best-selling ranges—it’s truly a beloved treasure in-house that we keep coming back to time and time again. There’s something utterly captivating about the vibrant, luminous turquoises that seem to glow with life, paired with the painstakingly intricate details and enchanting designs that define every single piece of Navajo jewelry. These aren’t just beautiful accessories; they are wearable works of art, crafted with passion and steeped in centuries of tradition. What truly sets this collection apart—and makes it so deeply special to us and our customers alike—is the rich cultural tapestry woven into each piece. Every item carries with it stories and symbols from the Navajo people, reflecting a legacy of craftsmanship, spirituality, and connection to nature. Owning a piece from this collection means more than just adorning yourself with stunning jewelry; it means embracing a history and heritage that speaks through every carefully carved detail and every shade of turquoise. It’s this powerful blend of beauty, meaning, and tradition that makes our Navajo collection a continual favorite in our lineup—and a must-have for anyone who cherishes jewelry with a soul.

All of our Navajo pieces are meticulously handcrafted by skilled Navajo and Zuni artisans—proud Native American Indian peoples hailing from the Southwestern United States. These artisans bring generations of knowledge, tradition, and artistry to every creation, honouring their cultural heritage with each delicate detail. The Navajo tribe, who refer to themselves as Diné, meaning “Children of the Holy People,” have called the vast and beautiful southwest their home for thousands of years. It was in the 1800s that they began to develop their distinctive jewellery-making traditions, combining natural materials, expert craftsmanship, and symbolic designs that convey stories and spiritual significance. Today, the Navajo remain the largest federally recognized Native American tribe in the US, with a reservation that spans the iconic Four Corners region, where Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado converge. This deep connection to their land and culture is reflected in every piece within our Navajo collection. You’ll find some of the most intricate and vibrant jewellery here, alive with radiant gemstones and meticulously stamped with the name or hallmark of the Navajo or Zuni artisan who crafted it. These unique marks serve as a personal signature and a testament to the authentic artistry behind each creation—something you might have noticed on some of your own treasured Navajo pieces. Together, these elements make each item not just a beautiful accessory but a meaningful expression of cultural pride and artistic legacy.

Navajo jewellery is renowned for its stunning use of turquoise and sterling silver, creating pieces that are bold, striking, and unmistakably unique. The signature look often features large, chunky turquoise stones carefully set within gleaming sterling silver bezels, allowing each jewel to radiate its own distinct charm and character. But the creativity of Navajo artisans doesn’t stop there—many also incorporate other beautiful gemstones like opal, coral, and lapis lazuli, adding layers of colour and depth that make each piece truly one-of-a-kind. At Indie and Harper, we take great pride in sourcing our Navajo jewellery directly from the tribes and artisans themselves, ensuring authenticity and honouring the meaningful stories woven into every creation. This direct connection means that every item we offer carries the true spirit and craftsmanship of the Navajo and Zuni people, preserving their cultural legacy and supporting their artistic communities. Inspired deeply by the rugged, breathtaking landscapes of the Southwest—its mountains, deserts, and skies—the designs reflect a profound relationship with the land and its history. Over generations, Navajo and Zuni jewellers have not only influenced the world of traditional Native American art but have also left an indelible mark on broader textile, fashion, and design industries. Their intricate silverwork, symbolic motifs, and vibrant stones have inspired countless artists and designers around the globe. At Indie and Harper, we feel incredibly privileged to be able to share these extraordinary pieces with you—pieces that carry with them not only exquisite beauty but also a rich cultural heritage and timeless artistry that continues to captivate and inspire.
