Andy Cadman is a popular Native American Jewelry artist in Gallup, New Mexico. Being part of a renowned family of Navajo silversmith, he often uses turquoise beads and sterling silver to create unique sets of jewelry, which are highly priced in the market. If you want to add Andy Cadman Jewelry to your collection, consider buying from exclusive online jewelry shops. These are the best places to access a wider selection and see many of Andy's best works. You no longer have to visit physical shops hoping that a particular piece you are looking for is available—only to be disappointed that they don’t have it. When you shop online, you see the inventory right away.

Buying Tips

Of course, as a collector, you want to make sure that the pieces you are buying are authentic and one of kind. This makes buying Native American jewelry online difficult as you cannot examine them before buying. Here are some tips to ensure that you will make the right purchase.

  1. Get to know the artist. It is important to know the signature style of the artist so that you can identify easily whether he or she has truly made the jewelry. Andy Cadman specializes in bracelets, squash blossom necklaces, belt buckles that have classic Navajo designs. His works often combine wire work and stamps that are very deep, wild, and unique, which made him famous.
  2. Read up about the jewelry shop. Find out about their beginnings and if they are one of the respected jewelers in the area. Know what their clients say about their service. You should also check their shipping and return policy.
  3. Ask for a Certificate of Authenticity. One indication that the jewelry (including the turquoise stone) that you are getting is real is if it has a Certificate of Authenticity. There should also be information about an artist, his tribal affiliation, aside from the product's detailed description.

Caring Tips

Proper maintenance of your Native American jewelry is vital to keep them stunningly beautiful especially if you intend to sell them in the future at a higher price or pass them down to the next generation. Keep them away from high temperatures. Turquoise is not as strong as other gemstones; thus, storing each of your pieces separately is necessary to avoid scratches. Rub the stones and the silver with a cloth, gently but firmly.
