Ethnic Jewelry
Ethnic jewelry encompasses a style of jewelry that can be attributed to many countries and styles including African, Native American and Bohemian. We love vintage Ethnic jewelry here at Earthly Adornments because it has a distinctive and truly unique look. We have a great variety, including collections highlighting Moroccan, Persian, Afghani and Yemeni jewelry. Ethnic jewelry has a specific look, usually highlighting natural stones, like turquoise, amber or agates and the often have an intricate beadwork and use sterling and other malleable and natural materials.
A Glance at Ethnic Jewelry: Native American Jewelry: Typically divided into separate groups of metalwork and beadwork antique Native American jewelry highlights their traditional materials which include beads, turquoise, silver, amber. Intricate silver patterns evolved as European silver smithing was introduced to various tribes. Moroccan jewelry appears primarily in silver and gold and is set with precious and semiprecious stones. These pieces were forged using ancient techniques and were designed to indicate the tribe and location from which the wearer originated.
