All of the pieces are based on historical designs and design elements associated with specific items in the collection, and it was a priority to have all items made in the United States. Prices range from $35 to $375.Comment:  QVC seems to have a thing for Native jewelry, since it's done something like this before. For more on the subject, see Indian Jewelry Sold on QVC.
