Native American jewelry

More art from the James Museum of Western Art
St Petersburg, FL

There is a small collection of beautiful jewelry. Having seen a huge museum collection last fall in Santa Fe at the Wheelwright Museum, I was a bit disappointed. But these are beautiful samples of a great genre.  I also imagine Mrs. Thomas James has her favorites to wear still, and doesn't display those here!

Buckle above, bolo below!

Similar design on necklace...

I apparently didn't catch the description of this Navahoh cuff with turquoise in sterling silver.

A glimpse at jewelry

 There is an incredible collection of jewelry with historic pieces and modern. I think I took pictures of most of the show. The Wheelwright Museum in Santa Fe, NM had this wonderful collection.
