Wood Lake Trading is a family owned and operated long-range trading company established in 1974. We specialize in Native American and American-made jewelry and goods. Our mission is to deliver handmade, quality artwork and merchandise that is affordable and accessible for everyone.
Our interest in this art form came in 1974 when we attained a collection of beautiful strands of Santo Domingo coral. We rolled them up in Native American weaving that we owned, and started our trading business. We soon learned that life as a trader requires hard work, strong ties in several communities, and sharp business tactics.
In the 1970s, politicized Native communities criticized traders over credit and pricing practices. Although this tension existed, we loved and appreciated the history that Native American art provides, so we continued on our journey as true ethical traders to make it accessible to all. We wanted to empower artists by providing a distribution and marketing avenue to introduce their craft to all regions of America.
It is through years of experience working in this industry that we have gained a vast understanding of trends and progression in the market. We now use this knowledge and expertise to design our own Wood Lake Trading jewelry lines by working alongside artists to produce modern and timeless pieces for our collections.
It is our passion and commitment to bring quality, American-handmade jewelry and collectibles to the world.
The pieces we select are crafted with natural materials such as sterling silver and turquoise.
We hope to maintain this beautiful art form that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Each piece has a unique handmade signature — a reminder that there is magic within the creation.
