Anyone who has a fetish for fetish necklaces - those adorable
links of small, carved animals - needs to visit American Indian
Trading Company located on Lincoln Avenue in Calistoga. Chock full
of native American jewelry, crafts, artwork and even moccasins,
this is a great little shop for those who enjoy the beautiful earthy
Native American design sensibility and reasonable prices. Here
you can find something for everyone!
The store features a large collection of turquoise, coral, amber, silver and gold jewelry. Come and see the unique White Turquoise from Nevada. There is a really exquisite inlaid jewelry collection available by the famous Navajo silver and goldsmith Calvin Begay. Many of the pieces are artisan made. Something especially unusual is the horsehair pottery, which incorporates the use of horse manes and tails. Unlike a lot of other pottery, these pieces were created without the use of glazes or painting. There is also a variety of moccasins available, including chidren's sizes. American Indian Trading Company also features relaxing and soothing music, books, Native design t-shirts, herbs, sage lotions, unique greeting cards and other interesting gifts.
If you like Native American artwork, this is the place to find
sandpaintings, beadwork, and sculptures. You can also find Native
American memorabilia, such as tomahawks, pipes, drums, medicine
bags, bows/quivers, Kachinas and various other pieces. Home of
The Homeland Security - Fighting Terrorism since 1492 t-shirts.
The store's Cherokee and Lakota Sioux made artwork are especially interesting. Their artisans use only glass, wood beads and USA turquoise for decorations, with absolutely no plastic. The turkey feathers are black, brown and barred, with ringneck pheasant plumage feathers to accent our larger feathers. The store's Willow Dream Catchers feature Golden Reeves Pheasant tail feathers with accent plumage. What's more is, all items come with hang tags and authenticity proof..
