Krobo beads, made by the Krobo people throughout the southeastern region of Ghana, from recycled glass (mostly bottles). These beads were originally used as currency. Each one is made by hand in a labor-intensive process of pulverizing glass, mixing it with natural dyes, and heating it to a temperature to mold the beads. The hole is formed by sticking a cassava leaf through the center. Every Krobo bead is elegant and unique.

Upcycled leather, from furniture scrap remnants from a local maker. This scrap material is too small for the furniture designs, but perfectly repurposed for Stephanie Leigh Jewelry. All leather is of a specific leather density, hand-selected and then hand cut and tooled for every piece of jewelry.  

 Color theory, which evokes patterns found in nature or by human creation. Colors have their own energetic imprint, their unique vibration and resonance. They can serve as reminders of special memories. They can hold space for how you present yourself to the world.

Check our amazing Stephanie Leigh Collection. These pieces are one of a kind and truly gorgeous.

Customer photo review of Handmade Sterling Silver Beaded Golden Hills Turquoise Necklace

I was really disappointed in the color of the turquoise. Very light blue color, not turquoise color. Almost has the color of light lapis. I was gonna return it, but i read you couldn't. I realize there are different colors of turquoise, but this was more light blue looking and not turquoise.

Handmade Sterling Silver Beaded Golden Hills Turquoise Necklace

Store owner replied: We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed. The light, pale blue color you’re describing is actually characteristic of Golden Hills Turquoise. Golden Hills is known for its soft sky-blue to icy pale blue tones, often with lavender or golden matrix. That distinct pastel blue is exactly what makes this material so sought-after and collectible. If you were looking for a deeper, brighter “classic turquoise” blue, something from the Kingman family of turquoise would likely have been a better fit, as Kingman typically produces the stronger, more saturated blue tones many people associate with traditional turquoise. We truly wish you had reached out to us before leaving feedback. We’re always happy to explain stone varieties, color ranges, and help guide customers toward the exact look they’re wanting. Turquoise varies greatly by mine and region, and we love educating our customers on those differences. Wishing you a great day.

I ordered 3 of these. 2 for myself and 1 as a gift for my granddaughter. Mine look great with my other Navajo Pearls and she loved her set. Very satisfied with my purchases and service was super fast.

The beads are beautiful and work very well in the design I am assembling. I have tried several times to attach a photograph and send you this, but it never seems to go through.

Customer photo review of Navajo Turquoise & Sterling Silver Crescent Cluster Earrings

I’ve been a collector of Native American jewelry for 45 yrs. It’s all I wear, even to my wedding ring. I love the artistry & the meaning behind it. Glad I found another good source of good quality & authentic Navajo & Zuni jewelry. Love these earrings & think they go very well with some of my other pieces.

Customer photo review of Old Pawn Navajo Sterling Silver & Kingman Turquoise Cuff Bracelet

I was afraid I had ordered a baby cuff, but nowhere on the description does it state baby cuff. The larger cuff I got in Santa Fe. That is how small it is. I am afraid to wear for fear of losing it.

Store owner replied: Hello, we do have the exact measurements of the cuff on the description of our listing on our website so all customers know exactly the size that they’re ordering when they order did you happen to check that and measure your wrist to make sure it was something that would fit you?

Customer photo review of Navajo Turquoise & Black Heishi Beaded 16 Inch Necklace

Beautiful necklace I try to wear all the time. Love Native American pieces. Only thing I wish it came with its story behind it , who made it and so on, Also would like to have a packing slip with it. I will order again. One thing else, no instructions if you would like to return or exchange an item. Yes you need to go back on your site to figure it out. Other than that love what I have ordered. Thank You Dessa
