What type of adornments/jewelry did Native Americans used to wear?
Also what tools would they have probably used to create these pieces?
Thanks :)


Answer:
Your question is pretty broad! How many different American Indian tribes have been around for the last several thousand years?

And during that time, how many different tools and ornamental items they wore are there?

Too many to describe I would think.

Tools would be just common sense - rocks, clubs of wood, needles from bone, animal parts like sinew for thread, hair for plaiting, etc.

And people have been ornamenting themselves with everything imaginable for thousands of years!

Metals didn’t really come into the scene into after introduced by the Europeans. But stones, wood, cloth and paint as well as feathers, shells horns, animal skin - almost anything you can think of has been used.

My preference is still SW Native American Indian jewelry though - from silver and turquoise! :-)
