A Brief History of Shadowbox Jewelry

Shadowbox jewelry is a distinctive style that emerged in Native American silversmithing in the mid-20th century, most notably among Navajo and Zuni artisans. The technique involves creating a recessed setting or “box” in the silver, often oxidized or darkened, with a stone—typically turquoise, coral, or onyx—set inside. This contrast between the bright, polished stone and the darkened background gives the piece a striking three-dimensional effect, almost like the stone is spotlighted.

Originally inspired by modernist design influences in the 1950s and 60s, shadowbox jewelry quickly became a popular form of Southwestern wearable art, blending traditional Native American craftsmanship with bold, contemporary visual depth. Many artists developed their own signature takes on the style, making vintage shadowbox pieces highly collectible today.

Whether worn as a fashion statement or treasured as a piece of cultural history, shadowbox jewelry remains a timeless representation of innovation within Native silversmithing.
