Ben Nighthorse Bio:

"For over 50 years, Northern Cheyenne artist Ben Nighthorse has created beautiful, award-winning jewelry using the highest quality precious and semi-precious stones, including diamonds, turquoise, and lapis set in 18k gold, 18k white gold, and the finest sterling silver. His work gracefully melds Native American design with haute couture originality, redefining what many consider to be Indian jewelry. The Nighthorse Collections features one-of-a-kind necklaces, pendants, reversible pendants, rings, wedding bands, earrings, bracelets, bolo ties, belt buckles, hat bands, cuff links and more.

The “Morning Star,” a unique symbol of the Cheyenne, was the emblem of Morning Star, better known as Dull Knife, the great Cheyenne chief. The Northern Cheyenne maintain to this day a homeland in their traditional country (present-day Montana) in large part due to chief Morning Star’s courage and determination as a leader. The Northern Cheyenne granted Ben Nighthorse permission to use this enduring symbol of strength as his signature stamp which is featured on all of his jewelry creations. Yes, to own a Nighthorse design is to own a piece of living history."

The Rock Art Collection:

"Inspired by the petroglyphs of the Southwest, Ben Nighthorse’s Rock Art designs are modern classics. Rock Art is a term in archaeology for any man-made markings made on natural stone. Early Native Americans made Rock Art images as a method of communication. These images have many meanings: from their use for spiritual teaching to young tribal initiates, from lessons for the more mature on The Greater Journey of Life to a way of saying, “We were here!” which has echoed down through the ages. In Ben’s words, “This design for me represents roots and stability … a timelessness."
