General Information:Western jewelry can be bold, rustic, spiritual, symbolic or simply a fun way to show your love of the American West. Combine feather charms, arrowhead pendants, dreamcatchers, buffalo and bison designs, eagles, cowboy boots, hats and other Western charms to create necklaces, charm bracelets, earrings and handmade gifts. Many of these designs also work beautifully with leather cord, turquoise colored beads, natural stone beads and other Southwestern jewelry making supplies.
Many familiar Western jewelry symbols have meanings and traditions that reach far beyond their appearance. Feathers, dreamcatchers, arrowheads, bears, buffalo and eagles have important connections with Native American and Indian history, culture and spiritual traditions, with meanings that can differ among peoples and individuals. Others simply enjoy these designs for their connection with nature, Western history or Southwestern style. With charms and pendants in metal, sterling silver, natural stone and other materials, there are plenty of ways to create jewelry that reflects the meaning or style you want.
