Navajo Turquoise Silver Stamped Boxes

 These wonderful silver Navajo-style boxes look like they could have passed thru a trading post at some point in their past. Turquoise stones are all natural and are individually selected for their unique character and beauty. These products are all crafted from German silver: an alloy containing nickel and copper. Each piece is hand made and hand finished. I can see one of our beautiful Navajo pendants in one of these pieces as a special gift. Or setting on a night stand for your eye glasses and jewelry....the bible box is especially beautiful!

These rustic silver pieces feel solid in your hand and look great displayed all together...a wonderful anniversary or birthday gift as well.

4th of July is a day to rejoice, be proud and salute all those brave warriors who fought for the freedom of our country. No amount of appreciation will be enough to describe their efforts. Have a great 4th of July.
"Freedom's natal day is here. Fire the guns and shout for freedom, See the flag above unfurled! Hail the stars and stripes forever, Dearest flag in all the world." -- Florence A. Jones
