Stunning Silver Necklaces

Fine silver tends to be very soft, and it generally can't be fashioned into jewelry on its own. Sterling silver is a type of silver to which other alloys -- such as copper, germanium, zinc, or platinum -- have been added. These added alloys improve the strength of the silver and increase its resistance to tarnishing, while preserving its appearance. Our Native American silver necklaces are designed for the finest sterling silver quality and longevity.

Handcrafted Southwestern Silver Necklaces

Our jewelry collection features handcrafted silver necklaces designed for daily wear and lasting durability. Artisans construct our multi-strand liquid silver using fine sterling tubes that reflect light naturally, while heavy bench bead styles feature hand-soldered seams with polished or antiqued finishes. Each item includes verified artist hallmarks and official provenance documentation.

Sterling silver originated in Europe to be used as currency in the 12th century, after which its purity was slowly regulated by kingdoms such as England as time passed on. Sterling was widely used in Colonial America as currency, and gained popularity as cutlery in the late 19th century and early 20th century, but then began to wane in popularity around World War II when labor costs rose and simpler machine-made pieces came into favor. Native American tribes learned the art of silversmithing from Spanish explorers, and have been perfecting the fine art of silver jewelry creation for more than a century.

Our Native American Indian silver necklaces look great on everyone, and are subtle enough to avoid overwhelming your look while offering just enough sparkle and shine to accentuate those cooler tones. We have a wide selection of design elements so you can find the piece that suits you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know these silver necklaces are authentic Native American art?−
Every piece in our inventory comes directly from recognized Southwestern artisans. Southwest Silver Gallery includes a physical certificate of authenticity with every order to confirm the origins of your purchase.
What is the best way to clean multi-strand liquid silver necklaces?+
Liquid silver strands require gentle care due to the internal stringing wire. Wipe the strands using a soft microfiber cloth after each use to remove oil. Do not submerge liquid silver in liquid cleaners, because chemical solutions weaken the internal wire and strip intentional hand-antiqued detailing.
How do I choose the correct necklace length for wearing alone or layering?+
A 16 to 18 inch length sits near the collarbone and works well for daily wear or pairing with small silver pendants. Long 24 to 30 inch liquid silver designs drape lower on the chest, creating strong contrast when worn over solid tops or layered alongside shorter turquoise bead strands.
Are these sterling silver necklaces suitable for sensitive skin?+
Our solid sterling silver pieces contain 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed primarily with copper for strength. They are nickel-free, making them safe and comfortable for most people with metal sensitivities or skin allergies.
Do these necklaces come ready for gift giving?+
Yes, every order includes free gift wrapping along with proper storage guidance. You can also include a custom gift message during checkout, making it simple to ship pieces directly to friends or family.
