EarthGEM
began as
an adventurous trip to New Mexico where mother
and daughter,
Sylvia Wintermyer and Shelley
Scheerschmidt became fascinated with the beauty
of natural turquoise and the workmanship of
American Indian artists. Through what was to
become the beginning of many special
friendships, we have embarked on the discovery
of the fascinating culture and spiritual beliefs
of the Navajo, Zuni and Santo Domingo people.
Our travels have taken us down little traveled
paths and into the homes of some of our most
admired artists. The jewelry created by these
artists is some of the most exceptional in the
world.
We now travel frequently to New Mexico to
meet with American Indian artists who
hand-create their jewelry using simple tools and
techniques that have been passed from generation
to generation. We offer authentic one-of-a kind
American Indian jewelry which we personally
select.
Thanks for visiting with us.
