Jewelry Heaven


This is a photo of a style of jewelry we found at the Hubbell Trading Post. When we found it again in Sedona for a reasonable price, we thought we would wait. Wouldn't you know, we never saw it again on our trip. We learned quite a bit about the differences between Zuni, Navajo, and Hopi artisans. The tribes have schools where members learn the craft and often only certain families can produce certain designs. It was interesting to note the differences. We also learned that you can't comparison shop while you are traveling and that, if you see something, you'd better get it because you might not see it again!
