The power of handmade craftsmanship

ERICKA NICOLAS BEGAY's silver rings are Indian jewelry that can be worn with feminine clothing. The design exquisitely combines the brand's unique charm with the traditions of Indian jewelry, and you can enjoy layering them with casual outfits to feminine clothing.

Indian jewelry has a rugged feel, and is especially popular among men, but when you meet a woman who wears it, you admire her sense of style. However, unlike mass-produced jewelry, Indian jewelry is handmade, so it is difficult to imitate like buying trendy items. I had been away from silver for a while, but ERICKA NICOLAS BEGAY's Indian jewelry is Navajo silver, which I was attracted to for its understated style that harmonizes with any outfit and does not assert too much.

Navajo and Navajo Pearls

The Native American Navajo are a tribe that lives in the areas of New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah, and have a history dating back to before the 1500s. Navajo pearls are shiny silver pearls that originate from the silversmithing of the Navajo tribe and are traditionally made. Like many ethnic jewelry, they have been worn as talismans, and are filled with life, friendship, and wishes. The Navajo originally made beaded products that were passed down from generation to generation using stone, wood, and shell materials, but after silver and copper were brought to Japan by Europeans, they have continued to make them using sturdy silver materials to this day.

Unlike ordinary ball chain necklaces, these silver parts with a pearl-like luster are made of high-quality 925 silver, a high-quality material that rivals gold and platinum such as K18. Unlike the masculine image of Indian jewelry, the shine of the high-purity silver is elegant without being too flashy, and the all-handmade texture is attractive.

This ring is a design that adds a twist to such a string of pearls, and one ring will completely change the impression of your hand. Silver is generally considered to be "heavy" and "bulky," but in the case of Navajo pearls, melted silver is made into a plate, first a hemisphere is made, and two hemispheres are welded together to make the pearl hollow, making it light and easy to wear. It is easy to move even when worn on the finger, and is comfortable to wear as a part of everyday life.

Committed to tradition and ease of use

Tracing the history of Indian jewelry, it is said to have begun with silverwork made by the Navajo people in the 18th century. After discovering the Americas, the Navajo mainly made textiles, but were influenced by the turquoise worn by the Spanish and Mexicans and started making jewelry. The making of Indian jewelry, which started as a way to make a living, eventually evolved into decorations for ceremonies and rites, and the technique spread to various surrounding tribes.

ERICKA NICOLAS BEGAY inherits this historic craftsmanship and starts from melting silver material. In recent years, it is said that many Indian jewelry pieces are made by processing plates and parts, but ERICKA NICOLAS BEGAY starts from making the material, with the idea of ​​providing authentic products by adhering to traditional manufacturing methods.
