About Us

Who is Native American Indian Jewelry Link?

This site has been created to offer only jewelry and only from Native American jewelry artists, for those who seek beautiful turquoise, coral, silver and gold jewelry, guaranteed to be hand-made by Native Americans. It is operated by Aboriginals: Art of the First Person, a company with a 30-year history offering Native American Indian jewelry and art to discerning collectors.

Aboriginals: Art of the First Person and Native jewelryLink owners,
Susanne and William Ernest Waites

We began to collect Native American art, including American Indian jewelry in 1979, upon our return from living in Australia.

For 10 years, we sold pieces from our collection at powwows and art shows in the Chicago area. In 1990, we opened a physical gallery in the Village Shops on Sanibel. We named it "Aboriginals: Art of the First Person" since we handled indigenous tribal art from several cultures.

In 1995, we opened our first online gallery, as an adjunct to the physical gallery, which we continued to operate. It was a modest web site with so many variations that we decided it made sense to open separate web sites for our major genres, hence the opening of Native-JewelryLink.

After 15 years, Aboriginals: Art of the First Person closed its physical gallery on Sanibel Island, Florida in August, 2005.

We now market and sell Native American Indian jewelry and turquoise on the Web exclusively, and by appointment locally.
We also are represented at Gannon's Art & Antiques Mall and at the Lee County Alliance for the Arts, both in Fort Myers, FL. (All sales at the Lee County Alliance for the Arts include a portion of the purchase price dedicated to supporting the local arts and arts.)

Nothing has changed except our ability to reduce our prices by eliminating store overhead.

We pride ourselves on the quality of the Native American jewelry and turquoise we offer and we guarantee them for quality and authenticity.

Tips for buying Native American Indian jewelry:
1) Never buy Native American Indian jewelry that you don't love and would not want to wear forever. Nothing is more depressing than to live with jewelry that was purchased solely for investment gain that doesn't materialize.

2) Shop around, but don't be swayed by price alone. An apparent bargain price doesn't necessarily mean a good value. Make sure your seller offers authentic Native American Indian-made jewelry and not foreign look-alikes. Membership in the Indian Arts and Crafts Association (IACA) is a good guide to the authenticity and integrity of any dealer in Native American Indian art.

3) If you can't trust your dealer and its guarantees, don't buy from it. A good dealer in Native American Indian jewelry will have a good reputation and will allow returns within a reasonable period either for cash or credit. Ask your dealer what its policy is.
