Silver Sun was founded in 1976 when Deanna Olson and Cheryl Ingram hit the road in a borrowed truck with three flat showcases and the best Native American jewelry $5,000 of retirement money could buy. After three years of traveling sales, the two retired school teachers opened the Silver Sun Gallery in 1979 in Santa Fe, New Mexico followed, in 1985, by Silver Sun in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

 

Since the beginning, Silver Sun has been providing authentic, handmade Native American jewelry to the public by wholesaling to fine shops and galleries, museums, and Indian stores across the globe. Over the years, they have acquired knowledge about the precious “fallen skystone” turquoise, and understand the value, beauty, and spiritual significance it holds. Silver Sun’s in-house designers collaborate with several talented silversmiths to create both traditional and unique contemporary jewelry that features rare, natural turquoise as well as other semi-precious stones.

 

Our Purveyor of Jewelry works closely with the staff of Silver Sun to offer unique pieces and organize trunk shows for OutWest's store location. {>}Click here to learn the full Silver Sun story.
