Native American Jewelry
            ~Stones genuine
            ~Signed pieces
            ~Our pilgrimage to the reservations

Audrey and Karl have been personally visiting the Navajo Reservation for almost 3 decades. They meet with Native American artists and as jewelers themselves they hand pick and inspect each piece to make sure the stones and craftsmanship are only of the finest level for their clients. Art gallery H prides it’s self on offering the highest quality jewelry which is always a cut above and individually signed by the artist.

Taking care of your jewelry:  This piece of sterling silver jewelry is oxidized high polished and not sealed. It will naturally patina over time which gives it a duller sheen.  If you want more of the high polished look we recommend our Jewelry Polishing Cloth in accessories.

CORAL

While technically not a gemstone by definitely, gorgeous, earthy coral is one of the most popular gemstones in jewelry.  Along with its sea sister, Pearl, Coral is comprised mostly of Calcium.  Nonetheless, Coral (and Red Coral, specifically) possesses some absolutely incredible healing properties . Coral evokes passion, romance and strength.  It is a gemstone that symbolizes joy, prosperity, protection and abundance.  Wearing Coral aids in the ability to understand the purpose of things, while encouraging creativity. 

HEALING PROPERTIES

Coral stimulates the base chakra,  and helps to focus energy on the pursuit of goals.  This stone protects from depression and despondency, while helping to diminish compulsive behaviors. Coral boosts leadership qualities, aiding determination and seeing projects through to completion. It clears feelings of resentment and frustration.  Wearing this gem is also used to bring luck and pleasant dreams.

WHERE IT’S FROM

Habitat. Red corals grow on rocky sea bottom with low sedimentation, typically in dark environments—either in the depths or in dark caverns or crevices. The original species, C. rub rum (formerly Gorgonia nobilis), is found mainly in the Mediterranean Sea.

RHODOCHROSITE

A Description Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral. Its chemical composition is MnCO3. In its purest form it is a transparent rose red, but this is fairly rare. It can also be formed in stalactites. This form can be sliced revealing circular layers of rose and pink to milky white. These lighter colors are formed when the manganese is replaced by calcium, manganese or zinc. The depth of color from red to pink depends on the amount of substitution.

HEALING PROPERTIES

When it comes to heartache, it’s all about balancing negative emotions. Use Rhodochrosite crystal healing properties to connect the fiery energy of the sacral chakra with the heart. This loving vibration calms the heart and encourages stability when tensions are high. With the Rhodochrosite crystal included in your healing crystal first aid kit, witness an amazing healing transformation in your relationships when jealousy and anger evolve into forgiveness and loving acceptance.

WHERE IT’S FROM

Rhodochrosite occurs as a hydrothermal vein mineral along with other manganese minerals in low temperature ore deposits as in the silver mines of Romania where it was first found. Banded rhodochrosite is mined in Capillitas, Argentina.
