OUR HISTORYThe Ugly Otter lives with my Beautiful Wife in the Village of Corrales, NM. We have studied and collected Indian Art, Sterling Silver Jewelry, and Jewelry Making for a good portion of our life. We are "retired" from our previous employment, and are doing this Web Site to keep us busy, have a purposeful routine in life, and we enjoy the great customers we have. (There may be one or two that we don't enjoy as much as the others, but, oh well) And, the extra income provides some incentive, we must admit. We have specialized in, and traded in, sterling silver jewelry for many years. We do not claim to be experts in this or any other field, but this is where our interests have been for a long time. The Otters travel extensively collecting the things shown on these web pages. We frequent the Navajo, Zuni, and Acoma Reservations about once each month, depending on need. We also visit other Reservations frequently, and know some of the artists who make these items, and many of the things shown on these pages are purchased directly from those makers. We haunt Pawn Shops in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, and anywhere else we happen to be. We continue to hunt quality Old Pawn items for our web site. This requires a lot of travel, palaver, and a great deal of plain 'ol "horse trading". It's fun, but time consuming. In July, 2007, we decided to diversify our work load, so we turned the order-taking, shipping, and web page up-dating over to our daughter (Cathy) and son-in-law (Dan) who live in Elko, NV. They are younger (naturally), more energetic, and eager to help the web site grow and prosper. The Ugly Otter (and his Beautiful Wife) continue to buy the jewelry, and scout for more old pawn items which you see on this web site. This keeps all four of us busy, and, hopefully, improves the Ugly Otter Web Site with a wider choice of items. Also, the Ugly Otter has become somewhat lazy and does not want to work as hard as he did once upon a time.
Then, in February, 2011, one of the Otter's Granddaughters, Audrey, signed
on to manage our "Facebook" presence. You know how it is - the elder
Otters do not fully understand the workings of all these new-fangled
communication websites, such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc. So,
the smart thing to do is get a bright youngster with agile thumbs, fingers,
and mind, to do this for us! These youngins can Tweet, Text, and walk
at the same time. We can't!

"Native American Jewelry, Turquoise
Jewelry"
We are suppliers of some of the finest, least expensive, Native American
Jewelry and Turquoise Jewelry to be found. We have decades of experience
in scouting for fine Sterling Silver Southwestern Indian Jewelry and
we offer it to you with pride. Our prices are very
low considering these products are high quality - when we say something
is "Sterling Silver", "Real Turquoise", or "Native American Made",
that's exactly what we mean!! And, everything is priced, here,
now, for you to compare!
This is it. Our catalog is electronic so we can more easily
keep it current. Due to the limited availability of most of these items,
and our very low prices, we have NO wholesale program.
Appraising Indian
Jewelry.
No, we don't buy from individuals who may have inherited
or otherwise obtained Native American Jewelry unless we can actually
see the jewelry. We can't buy from photos.
No, we are not appraisers.
We buy only from known and trusted
Indian sources, or reputable Indian Traders who we've dealt with for years,
unless we can actually see the jewelry in person. There is a
lot of "Indian Jewelry" made in third world countries, and we have to be
careful. Sorry!! "Click
