The most authentic Native American jewelry at the best prices!I absolutely love the lay away program & ask for gift certificates at every holiday. This is a one of a kind gallery. I strongly advise getting collectible prices on lay away ASAP, as the owners are seniors and who knows how long the treasure trove of their contacts & inventory will be available.I searched all of my life for authentic Native jewelry. This is the only place I’ve found such one if a kind, gorgeous pieces. To find equal you would have to frequent Navajo, Sioux & Zuni Reservations and make relationships with various artists.The owner Fern is the absolute kindest, most compassionate, most knowledgeable in Native art, artists and the history of the lives of each artists that I’ve had the honor and privilege to know.When you go, make sure you have a couple of hours to take it all in. For such a small space, there is more than the human mind can take in with just one visit. Each time I visit I discover new treasures. Visiting is an authentic experience the soul will never forget.?????⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?? ?? ??

We know enough to recognize a "5" shop when we see one! We have shopped (and, repeat shopped) in a large number (well over 50+) of Native American shops and jewelry stores specializing in high quality Indian handcrafted pieces--rings, ear rings, hat bands, belts, necklaces, rugs, pottery, drums..... We have spent most of our successful shopping time in Bisbee, Silver City, Taos, Gallup & Santa Fe because we are impressed with the quality and range of desirable pieces available. That was until we stopped by the Crow's Nest. It is clearly one of the best galleries we have ever visited, but far from the being the largest. The shop utilizes every square inch to offer a wide range of excellent quality pieces from well known artists. The pieces are well grouped and well displayed--it is not a hodge podge of stuff mixed in with souvenir junk, dead pawn, and western clothing--there is NO cheap junk here! There is real care taken to display the pieces to make it easier to identify what you want to see/buy. The owner knows the artists and has dealt with them for many years. She knows quality pieces and that is what she offers. The prices are fair and reasonable for what you are getting. The whole experience in this shop is excellent. We really appreciate a dealer (Fern) who knows a lot about the artists and the pieces. She can and does seriously assist customers in making good and appropriate buying decisions, I do not think you can go wrong here!

Thanks so much for the good vibes and warm reception! I've been enjoying learning to play my new Native American flute, and we can't wait to share the gifts of jewelry that we found at your store. Wishing all the best for you and the artisans connected to your lovely gallery.

Must see! I’m Native Mescalero Apache and assure you will have to search the reservations to of numerous states to find jewelry of this quality and authenticity. The vast selection starkly outshines all other “so called” Native American art galleries or jewelry stores. For the quality and weight of this pure silver jewelry, you cannot beat the prices!The drive out to La Porte, TX is well worth it. Grab a to go plate of coconut shrimp from Baytown Seafood on the way back! It will be a day you will never forget.Fern Young has been at this longer than I have been alive. She has a generous lay away program, a gallery wide sale each summer in July (I think) and takes her time to be sure you make selections of heirloom pieces you will most assuredly treasure and proudly pass on to the next generation of loved ones.If you get an appraisal certificate or keep a photo of your receipt, your renters or home owners insurance will cover your investments. I highly recommend doing this because you will certainly be back for more.If you are thinking about Native art or jewelry, go as quickly as possible. The owner is at retirement age, so no telling how long this precious treasure trove will be open.For anyone looking for a business investment opportunity, Fern’s quality and knowledge are priceless. If I had the means, I would have bought the business years ago.I can not emphasize enough how moved you will be to experience Crow’s Nest Art Gallery. I was moved to tears the first day I visited. Connecting with my history, my people in such a personal way was beyond description.I am allergic to gold, copper & nickel. This is now the only jewelry I invest in. James Avery pales in comparison to Fern Young’s vast collection of one of a kind heirloom investments!Thank you to Fern and her late husband Ed for bringing such beauty and Native Pride into the lives of so many over the years. May your legacy move forward to inspire true authentic Native American art enthusiast and descendants.?????????????????

Quite literally two of the loveliest people on God's green earth that you will ever meet. Fern is a fount of knowledge on Native American jewelry and gemstones, and Ed is a raconteur of sorts who can tell you endless stories about his and Fern's adventures as pilots. Amazingly beautiful people. If we had more Ferns and Eds in this world we'd be better off. As a side note, their jewelry is unbeatable in quality and value. It's bonafide. - Connie

My favorite place! Authentic Indian Jewelry (and lots of other goodies). It is tucked away in La Porte, but well worth the drive from anywhere. I own many pieces from here. Fern is so sweet and helpful. And she knows her stuff! I get complemented on my beautiful jewelry all the time. Check this place out. There is no other place like this that I know of except maybe on New Mexico.
