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.
