Honoring Tradition: Sourcing Authentic Western Jewelry from Native Makers

At Concho Collective, we believe in preserving the rich heritage of Western jewelry by sourcing from Native artisans and skilled silversmiths whenever possible. Our collection includes concho belts, squash blossom necklaces, Navajo pearls, cuffs, rings, earrings, and more, each reflecting the artistry, craftsmanship, and history of the Southwest and Western jewelry traditions.

The Legacy of Western Jewelry

Western jewelry carries a history as bold and resilient as the people who create it. The Navajo, Zuni, Hopi, and Pueblo artisans have perfected traditional techniques such as hand-stamping, repoussé silverwork, cluster stone settings, and intricate beadwork, passing these skills down through generations.

Squash Blossom Necklaces – A signature of Southwestern jewelry, squash blossom necklaces feature crescent-shaped naja pendants and handcrafted silver beads. Originally influenced by Spanish designs, these pieces became deeply ingrained in Navajo and Pueblo artistry, often set with stunning turquoise, coral, or spiny oyster stones.

Navajo Pearls – Known for their simple elegance and versatility, these sterling silver beads are handcrafted, strung together in necklaces or layered into statement pieces.

Concho Belts – Featuring hand-tooled leather and sterling silver conchos, these belts have evolved from Spanish colonial influences into the iconic Western statement piece they are today.

Cuffs, Rings & Earrings – From bold turquoise cuffs to Zuni cluster rings and delicately beaded earrings, every piece in our collection carries a connection to authentic craftsmanship and timeless style.

Authenticity & Craftsmanship

We prioritize sourcing authentic, high-quality jewelry from Native artisans, ensuring that every piece tells a story of skill, tradition, and cultural heritage. By choosing jewelry from Concho Collective, you’re not just wearing a beautiful piece—you’re supporting artisans and the continuation of these historic techniques.

What Makes Western Jewelry Valuable? Understanding the Artistry & Materials

Not all Western jewelry is created equal. The value of authentic, high-quality Western jewelry lies in its craftsmanship, materials, and cultural significance.

Key Features of Authentic Western Jewelry

Handmade Silverwork – Traditional Western and Native jewelry is crafted from sterling silver, with hand-stamped details, repoussé work, and intricate engraving. Mass-produced pieces lack the precision and artistry of true artisan-crafted jewelry.


Natural Turquoise & Gemstones – Many pieces feature genuine turquoise, spiny oyster, onyx, coral, and lapis, sourced from historic mines in the Southwest. Each stone carries unique patterns, colors, and characteristics, making every piece one-of-a-kind.


Traditional Craftsmanship – Whether it’s a Zuni cluster ring, Navajo squash blossom necklace, or Pueblo beadwork, the artistry behind these pieces has been perfected over generations.
