Now available online as well as at the Mudhead Gallery this lovely Santo Domingo
2 strand graduated turquoise Heishi necklace
with dark orange spiny oyster shell Joclas. This is an authentic traditional necklace,
style indicative of Santo Domingo Pueblo.
I have photographed this 2 strand necklace next to other turquoise necklaces so you can
see the variety of colors turquoise
that is out there a very wide range of color...and how this color compares to other colors
of turquoise...once you see then for yourself you can decide which color looks best on you...
and which color you like the best. Will you choose a choker necklace or do you like your necklaces a little longer?
We have so very much to choose from so allow yourself about an hour to shop online and in the Mudhead Gallery
to find that special piece custom made just for you!
This particular piece was purchased from a private collector.
This collector has very specific tastes and only chose the finest pieces that she owned.
Sometimes collectors own their pieces for many years and enjoy their collection.
Then often for a number of reasons collectors find themselves needing to change their lifestyle,
maybe size down, maybe move to another state, retire, travel, for many reasons we find
collectors reaching out to us to buy their collections so they can liquidate what they have
so they can move on and can complete what they are desiring to do.
Being in business for 40 years the business of buying has changed over the 40 years.
Originally needing to buy for 3 stores to now having one store and 2 websites...
When you are shopping out there be aware that there are people other than Native American cultures
are actually trying to steal jewelry design ideas from authentic Native American Artists.
They will even try to pass them off as Native American made when in actually they are not.
This is not good because it cuts into the profits of Native American Artists profits.
If we have an item non Native made we state this. This gives you the opportunity to buy the item or not.
Primarily however we define ourselves as selling most everything with the exception of our bronze artists as
Native American made.
That is why for 40 years we take pride in what we own what we sell and how we acquire the items we have.
We have helped support thousands of Native American artists and their goals of them
continuing with producing their art and jewelry sales over the course of 40 years.
Not every Native American Gallery out there can do this or can say this.
When you go online to shop anywhere...just what are you finding???
Alot of junk made in China which is being knocked off and being sold as authentic???
There are alot of copy cat artists out there that try to reproduce and mass produce
anything out there of value...just to make a fast buck.
That's not us. We have made our buck one at a time and we earn it the old fashioned way.
We maintain quality and quality never goes out of style.
Educate yourself to know the difference...one stop at the Mudhead Gallery or shop online
at mudheadgallery.com
will be a good starting point to help educate you on knowing the difference.
When you shop with a reputable Gallery, Mudhead Gallery, you have our protection
that we have inspected your current as well as future purchases
and guarantee authenticity in advance of you actually buying them...
and that's a great feeling to have.
Our reputation rests on this.
