Who We Are
Welcome to Santa Fe Sun Handmade E-Gallery.
We believe authentic Native American handmade jewelry is more than an accessory—it's wearable art shaped by tradition, craftsmanship, and generations of cultural heritage.
Santa Fe Sun Handmade was founded to connect collectors with exceptional sterling silver and turquoise creations handcrafted by talented Native American artists, primarily Navajo (Diné) silversmiths. Every piece is thoughtfully selected through trusted relationships with respected Southwestern galleries, trading posts, artists, and established jewelry sources. Because many of our pieces are one of a kind, each collection offers an opportunity to own something truly distinctive.
Our commitment extends beyond authenticity. We want every collector to enjoy a secure and confident buying experience. That's why every purchase is completed exclusively through our official E-Gallery at SantaFeSunHandmade.com, where your order is protected by secure checkout, trusted payment processing, insured shipping, and our published return policy. We proudly offer convenient payment options, including major credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, PayPal Pay Later, and Affirm, all processed securely through our website.
While we love sharing new arrivals, artist stories, and behind-the-scenes moments on social media, we never ask customers to purchase through direct messages, unofficial payment links, or third-party marketplaces. Every authentic Santa Fe Sun Handmade purchase begins and ends in our E-Gallery, ensuring the protection and peace of mind our collectors deserve.
Whether you're searching for your very first piece or adding to a lifelong collection, our mission remains the same: to offer authentic Native American wearable art with integrity, transparency, and exceptional service.
Thank you for visiting the Santa Fe Sun Handmade E-Gallery.
We are honored to be part of your collecting journey.
About the Founder:
Behind Santa Fe Sun Handmade is a lifelong admirer of the American Southwest whose passion for Native American artistry has grown through years of traveling the historic Mother Road and exploring the backroads of New Mexico and Arizona in search of exceptional handmade jewelry.
Based in rural Northern California, underneath majestic old oak and fragrant pine trees, the owner personally curates every piece offered in the E-Gallery, working with trusted Southwestern galleries, artists, trading posts, and respected jewelry sources, traveling to New Mexico and Arizona several times per year.
Those journeys—and the relationships built along the way—are at the heart of every collection. To learn more about the inspiration behind these travels and the foundation of Santa Fe Sun Handmade E-Gallery, visit our blog, "The Mother Road & the Makers."
Handmade Sterling Silver and Mediterranean Coral pendant by Tyler Brown, the renowned Navajo silversmith known for his vibrant cluster jewelry. Tyler learned his craft from his father, the late, well-known Navajo artist Dean Brown, who taught him the fundamentals of jewelry making as a teenager, starting with simple earrings before progressing to more complex pieces. Dean Brown was a significant influence, establishing Tyler's foundation in Navajo silversmithing.
