Jim and Anita Earnest work with artists from all tribes and take great pride in every piece they bring into the store, sometimes traveling 5000 miles to carefully select pieces.
Many different tribes are represented and most artists are longtime friends. Their first store was located in Calistoga, California (Napa Valley) for 15 years.
They carry quality Native American jewelry and art such as fetishes, artifacts, bows and quivers, pottery, music, books, talking feathers, Cherokee dream catchers, medicine wheels and much more. Most of their jewelry is hand made. Some of the bone carvings are from Bali and some jewelry is Peru, Guatemala and Mayan made.
All Nations Trading represents both Calvin Begay and David Freeland. Both use the inlay technique to create truly gorgeous and unique jewelry pieces.
Calvin Begay is a Navajo silversmith. His jewelry is all handmade, like the most popular horse pendants, dragonfly pendants and turtle pendants.
David Freeland draws much of his inspiration from nature using unconventional shapes and textures to create distinctive one of a kind designs.
Their friends Lonny and Michelle make fine jewelry from buffalo bone, which they hand cut and paint. You can find Cherokee dream catchers by Tony Cucumber, Full Blood Cherokee, and Winterhawk Pottery. Also available, the always popular “Homeland Security, Fighting Terrorism Since 1492” tee shirts.
Jim and Anita have worked hard for years to build up a good circle of artist friends from around the nation. They invite you to come visit their store and experience first-hand the amazing craftsmanship. Be sure to check out Calvin Begay’s beautiful Midnight Sky series of inlay jewelry.
