About Us!Please use the menu buttons to the left to shop our full line of Merchandise!
The internet is an exciting, safe and easy way to shop, especially here at Yahoo! Store™ . I have enjoyed the Southwest for the past 47 years and I would like to bring a small part of what I have experienced to you. While traveling I have purchased handcrafted, Native American jewelry as gifts for my family and friends. I have been intriged by the fact that Native American Indians have handcrafted jewelry for centuries and are still making their jewelry by hand. I realized that not everyone can visit and enjoy the Southwest as I have or afford much of the handcrafted Indian jewelry. Fortunately, I have found a wonderful source to supply beautifully handcrafted Indian jewelry from the Southwest, at prices most all of us can afford. I think you will agree when you see the inventory and prices that Bearlanders Trading Co. has to offer.
Bearlanders Trading Co. does not represent or suggest, either expressly or implied, that any given Artist or Artisan is a registered tribal member or certified as an Indian artisan by any Indian tribe, or that any items included on our site, or off, is "Indian Made", or "Indian Produced" or "Native American Made", as so defined within the terms of the "Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990". The determination of any such matters is left to the discretion of the public.
The Kachina Dolls, Carved Bears and Dream Catchers sold here at 'Bearlanders' come from New Mexico. The Kachina Dolls and Carved Bears are signed or initialed by the artist who made that piece. The Dream Catchers come with a certificate or Authenticity. However, some of the components of our merchandise are not made by Indians. Some of the jewelry pieces are cast in a mold, with Native American Indian stonework added. Of course, the chains are not handcrafted.
We refer to Indian jewelry, Native American jewelry and American Indian jewelry as jewelry that is handcrafted by several Indian artisans who we personally purchase from. For many years now we have purchased a large selection of Indian jewelry from the same Native American Indian artists and found their skills to be exceptional. These Indian artists including Taina T., Eunice B., Mae S., Jeanette S. and her sister Janice H. We purchase our jewelry from Northern Arizona and New Mexico and many pieces of our Indian jewelry will be shipped with a certificate of authenticity.

The healing properties we refer to in the gemstones used in making the jewelry that we carry are based upon individual heretage beliefs. These beliefs are also known as folklore. We claim no responsibility for anyone being healed or not being healed, while wearing jewelry purchased from Bearlanders Trading Co. We list these beliefs or thoughts for entertainment purpose only.

We do our best to show photos which best represent the merchandise you purchase. Some items when restocked from our suppliers vary slightly from the original, therefore the item you order may vary slightly from the photo.
In reference to all of our Opal Pieces, "Opal", the color of which is a milky, green, red and blue fire, is mined in Australia. Opal is considered a precious gem, which can be very expensive. Therefore, man has found a way to use the same components and create a "laboratory grown" exact Opal. It is difficult to find a difference between "laboratory grown" Opal and "natural Opal". And to keep our jewelry affordable, all of our pieces of Opal jewelry made with Opal are "laboratory grown". So ... "Save the Real Opal - Use Laboratory Grown!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** STORING & CLEANING OF JEWELRY **
When storing your necklace, please place it in your hands, and turn the necklace into a "Figure 8". The necklace is made with what is called a "mini cable", and if not properly handled during storage, could possibly get a kink in it. Also, a good way to store this Sterling Silver, and liquid silver jewelry, when not being worn, is in an air tight container, such as a Ziploc Bag. We recommend cleaning our jewelry with a
Polishing Cloth and for the Sterling Silver Chains, we recommend Connoisseurs Silver Jewelry Cleaner available at your local Walmart Store! But please, follow directions exactly!
