Exclusive to San Juan Silver Stage

It’s hot! it’s happenin’ and  it’s a better than $3 billion industry gracing the covers of the world’s top magazines. Best of all, it’s back again, after a 30-year respite, as the most popular personal adornment to wear and collect. 

Indian Jewelry—silver and gold, turquoise, and coral, and intricate inlays of both, mixed with red or pink coral, malachite, lapis, sugilite,  pearl, shell...even opal; it’s fabulous, it’s fun. And, gloriously, outrageously, blatantly, you can wear as much of it as you want to. When stocks are plummeting, dot coms are waffling, hemlines wavering and the economy downright funky, here’s a way to rise above it all.

Pile on the Indian jewelry. 

It goes with anything—everything—in your closet. There’s no wrong way to wear it, noplace you can’t wear it. Market, meeting, vacation, hike or horseback ride. Wherever you go, it will go too.
