Turquoise: Sacred Stone
|
|
 Peering into his box of treasured turquoise gemstones, award-winning Navajo jeweler Darryl Dean Begay reaches in and chooses from his favorite selections.

Southwestern Jewelry
|
|
 The Southwest's arid climate has dictated lifeways for the region's inhabitants for thousands of years. The land, bountiful only with specialized knowledge, once sustained the ancestral Pueblo, Hohokam and Mogollon peoples and remains the source of Pueblo, Navajo, Apache and other tribal cultures today. Life is guided by conviction that one can coexist harmoniously with the supernatural, if things are done in the proper way. In return, Southwestern Indians have ensouled Mother Earth into their prayers, ceremonies and adornment-particularly their stunning and diverse range of jewelry.
