Not a stock photo Production Method: Small Batch Handmade Take a trip with us down old Route 66 to a remote desert where the Pueblo Tribes of the American Southwest have been crafting small batches of handmade jewelry in their homes for over 200 years. Native artists use vibrant stones from local mines to express their culture and the spirit of the land. In this place, traditions and milestones are celebrated in Sterling Silver, and cherished pieces are handed down to the next generation of adventure seekers. Desert Opals: Desert Opals have a distinct interplay of color and light while being as tough and as rugged as the Southwest itself. Desert Opals are synthetically engineered opals that will not crack or become cloudy. They are not sensitive to outdoor temperatures or household chemicals. There is no oiling or maintenance. Contemporary Native American artists have found that Desert Opals are durable enough to be used in the intricate inlay pieces for which they are known.< /p> Appreciate the Difference: We are not manufacturers.
