I happily combine post, more amazing and unique Native American sterling pieces in store now- browse around :) About Native American Jewellery:I absolutely adore Native American sterling silver jewellery-not only is it beautifully crafted/designed and unusual, the jewellery also often has a deeper meaning behind it; a respect and celebration of life, nature, animals, deities and the human spirit.My knowledge of Native American jewellery is limited but I do research and thought I’d share a little about what I’ve learned thus far :)Native American sterling jewellery is mostly handcrafted using incredible silversmith skills passed down from generation to generation. The pieces can range from the delicate and intricate to the heavyweight and bold and can often incorporate colourful stones (particularly but not limited to turquoise and coral) and fine decorative carved detailing.Stamps on Native American sterling pieces vary a great deal, (particularly pre-1970’s where no stamps is quite common) but they can include Sterling stamp only, Sterling & initial stamp and pictograph symbol/s etc.There are some great identifying Native American sterling stamps websites (that provide some minimal information and images on the artist’s stamps/tribal affiliation/genuine & fake stamps etc.) but many remain unknown, I do find this disappointing simply because it would be nice to give credit to which artisan has produced such amazing piece/s.I always consider myself very lucky when I can identify an artist as it can lead to finding out more about their history & tribal affiliation :)Native American sterling silver jewellery is highly collectable (particularly signed pieces, older pieces and/or old pawn pieces - originally exchanged for goods & services) and is often in the higher price bracket because of this.
About the jewellery:My goal is to bring you happiness & adornment by finding beautiful and unusual high quality vintage sterling silver jewellery that is not mass-produced and is a bit different/individual-it's also recycling :)
I am a sterling silver enthusiast and not a professional jeweller but I do a lot of research on the items that I sell including makers, stamps, style and era to be as accurate as possible.
All pieces are tested (regardless of stamps etc) to ensure they are solid sterling silver (not plated-unless stated otherwise in item description).
I hand clean all sterling jewellery with a silver cloth and water so as not to over-clean/strip vintage detailing where applicable.
Prices are based on the original cost to me, ebay charges and a small part of my cleaning/presenting time-that being said I'm always happy to consider reasonable counter-offers :)
Returns are accepted-please contact me within 7 days of receiving your item to inform me of your intent to return. Refunds are provided upon item's return in purchased condition.
About the Store:Retro Rain Vintage is a small, individually run business that is now based in Newcastle, N.S.W, Australia.
I started this store to share my love of rare and whimsical vintage and preloved jewellery, accessories and clothes (my dream is to one day open a physical store :)
For the past 3 years I have concentrated on discovering vintage sterling silver jewellery as I personally adore it both as a collector and giving it as gifts.

Warmest Wishes, Rain
