Materials Used in Native American Jewelry

Many people are enamored with Native American jewelry for no other reason than the fact that they often turned rather plain or average looking components into something elaborate, beautiful, and ornate. To that end, some of the main items that were used in Native American jewelry were beads, shells, and discarded buttons. But these products became something stunning when it was incorporated into jewelry.

One of the most elaborate and interesting pieces of jewelry were the Native American necklaces. These were often strung with multiple strings of beads, so they could show off many different varieties and kinds of beads and shells. Some necklaces even featured pieces of bone or animal claw.
