Adornment – jewelry of silver and turquoise, beadwork and ceremonial regalia – is a defining element and recognized hallmark of cultural expression for North American Indians. Maria Ryan - an accomplished artist and designer from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho - has been winning awards and pleasing collectors around the world for decades. Her research into the meanings and symbolism behind the designs used in classic Southwestern jewelry, coupled with a fearless artistic style that leads her to experiment with different materials to achieve special effects in her art, resulted in this stunning tribute to the Native American love of jewelry.
