Many people believe the most popular styles were developed in the early 1900s, when Southwest Indian jewelry designers began making silver items for themselves and for trading with other tribes. The beauty of those pieces soon attracted outsiders, and artists began trading Southwest Indian jewelry commercially.  Since that time, the craft has evolved into what it is today. It is a thriving business, built on expert craftsmanship and a rich cultural history. Alltribes gets much of their inventory from some of the most skilled makers of Southwest jewelry.
