subject: Understanding Tribal Jewelry [print this page] Tribal jewelry is still a very highly regarded art form. Most of the artisans that create the beautiful pieces of artistic tribal jewelry you see today are carrying on a family tradition that has been handed down from parent to child. Many of these artists are carrying on a family tradition that can be traced back at least a hundred years or more. That is one of the things that can make owning a piece of tribal jewelry so special, the fact that the piece has a special meaning as well as having a true artisan that fully appreciates the meaning of the piece creating the piece, making it a one of kind rarity. Although modern jewelry holds beauty and value, the history, magic and true craftsmanship that goes into a true piece of tribal jewelry cannot be matched.
