Native American jewelry for museum, park and gallery stores

Visitors in a museum store or a park bookstore ask who made a piece and where it came from. Your staff needs a true answer. Under the federal Indian Arts and Crafts Act, a store has to be accurate when it sells jewelry as Native American made.

Every piece in our Native American line is handmade by Native American artists in sterling silver. M&S Turquoise has been family owned in St. George, Utah since 1975, and we work closely with our artists and the artist groups we buy from.

Buying that works for a committee

Museum and park buyers often need a second person to sign off. The intro call is usually a video call, so your buyer and your store manager can both join and see the line at the same time. A phone call is fine too. It runs 15 minutes to an hour.

After you are approved, orders can be placed by live video call, form, text or phone. We confirm the shipping cost before you pay, so you know the full total for your purchase order.

Stones the artists chose

We carry a wide variety of turquoise and other semiprecious stones. The stones are often chosen by the individual artists, which gives your interpretive staff a real detail to share with visitors who ask about a piece.

Close to the parks we know

Our showroom at 53 East St. George Blvd. is about an hour from Zion National Park. Travelers on their way to and from the park shop in our showroom, so we see which pieces they pick up and which they pass over. We ship worldwide, and every order ships within one business day.

No hard minimums for small stores

A visitor center with one glass case and a large museum store start the same way. There are no hard minimums. We offer strategic consulting, and on your intro call we talk about your visitors, your mission and your space before we suggest a starting mix.
