✨ A Rare Treasure Finds Its New Home! ✨

This morning, a lovely visitor from Milwaukee came into Santa Fe Trail Jewelry searching for a special piece of Navajo jewelry. She fell in love with this contemporary Navajo pendant featuring rare Golden Hills turquoise from Kazakhstan!

The beautiful silver spheres are known as “raindrops” in Navajo silversmithing, a wonderful traditional detail in this modern design.

Golden Hills turquoise is prized for its remarkable blue color and limited availability. This exceptional pendant had only recently arrived in my collection, and today it found its perfect home!

One of my greatest joys is connecting extraordinary jewelry with the people who will treasure it. 💙

I’m often asked if Santa Fe Trail Jewelry offers permanent jewelry — those delicate bracelets that are welded closed around your wrist.

The answer is no, and there are several reasons why.

First, bracelets live a surprisingly hard life. They encounter soap, lotions, household cleaners, swimming pools, hot tubs, and everything else our hands get into.

Second, I LOVE BRACELETS! Why would I want to wear the same one every day?

Bracelets are one of the biggest categories at Santa Fe Trail Jewelry. I want the creative power to wear turquoise today, silver tomorrow, gemstones on Saturday, stack three together, and perhaps something wonderfully old and Native American when the mood strikes me.

Jewelry is personal. It changes with what we’re wearing, where we’re going and sometimes simply with who we feel like being that day.

I’ll happily sell you one you can take off tonight...

because tomorrow you might want to wear a different one.

Thank you for understanding. 💕

I’ve always believed that extraordinary jewelry is worth waiting for.

These two bracelets have held places of honor, front and center in my Native American case, for years. They’ve been admired countless times—and now, within the last month, both have sold.

I choose my jewelry carefully. I don’t mind paying more for a piece when the workmanship, stones and design are exceptional. And I don’t mind waiting for the person who recognizes those same qualities.

These were never simply inventory to me. They were showcase pieces.

Seeing them both leave is a little bittersweet—but also wonderfully affirming. Beautiful craftsmanship doesn’t go out of style. Sometimes it simply waits for the right collector.

The Navajo cuff on the left was made by Guy Hoskie.
The Zuni cuff on the right was made by Sylvester Noche.

Some treasures just wait for the right person. ❤️

It has been such fun watching several pieces that have been in Santa Fe Trail Jewelry for many years suddenly find their new homes!

This week it was a fabulous Mabe pearl and leather bracelet made by Darlene Armstrong, and a vintage Navajo turquoise ring.

Jewelry has a funny way of doing that. Sometimes it isn’t waiting to be sold — it’s waiting for the right person to walk through the door.

Trollbeads newest collection has several powerful beads that play well with new and older beads. I adore the Brown Sapphire and the Summer Evening together.

Sheba wants to be my new Director of Canine Merchandising.
If it looks good on her, imagine how this vintage coral necklace would look on you!
