Dragonfly Symbolism

In Plains Indian traditions, dragonflies are symbols of protection and invincibility. Pictures of dragonflies were often painted on war shirts and tepees to ward off danger. Dragonfly symbolizes change and the stripping away of all negativity that holds us back, helping us to achieve our dreams and goals. Dragonfly is the keeper of dreams that sees all of our true potential and ability and helps us on the path of discovery and enlightenment. Dragonfly reminds us that anything is possible.

Our Rescue Mission
of Native American Indian Jewerly and Artifacts

We are in the vintage Native American jewelry rescue business and are passionate about finding new homes for used and vintage jewelry and artifacts. That's why we purchase Native American pieces from estates, inheritances, collection downsizing and New Old Stock (NOS) inventory from closed stores.

Often people contact us after taking a box of Native American jewelry to their local pawn shop and find that a pawn shop is mainly interested in melt value of the metals and not in preserving the beautiful historic pieces. To hear that people have considered selling these treasures for melt value makes us truly sad.

Melt value is usually far below what we would offer for the jewelry. Yet we can't pay retail price for items because of the time and cost involved in finding new homes for them. We have to research, often repair and restore the jewelry, photograph and list each item on our website, and sometimes hold pieces in inventory for years until the right buyer comes along.

We hope you'll find something special in our vintage shop that will complete yet another circle of our jewelry re-homing mission.
