Throughout history pawn by our Native American’s, has been used as a economic and safekeeping activity for material possessions. Guns, saddles and jewelry move in and out of pawn shops during the seasons. Guns and saddles are needed during hunting season and round up and Jewelry is worn during the summer dances and ceremonies. The pawn shop is the place to safe keep possessions when not needed.
Native American jewelry, old pawn and vintage jewelry made for Native American’s by Native American’s is believed to be a higher quality and most likely made specifically customized to the buyer’s request and size. This jewelry had different purposes and could be used as decoration, ceremonial or a display of wealth.
Besides the beauty, craftsmanship and artistic nature of Native American Jewelry; is that it was once owned, worn, appreciated and used. If the jewelry spirit could talk it would tell of the happy times, sad times, celebrations, ceremonies and its travels in its first life. If you are lucky enough to own a piece of Native American Pawn Jewelry and treasure it, you will add your own story, spirit and share the emotional bond with our Native American treasure and history.
