Hubbell Turquoise Trade Beads (also called Hubbell beads, Hubble beads, or Hubble glass) are pressed glass beads made primarily in Bohemia/Czechoslovakia (and earlier in Italy or other European centers) that were imported to the American Southwest in the early 20th century. They were designed and colored to imitate turquoise and were widely used by Navajo and other Native American silversmiths and jewelers in necklaces, earrings, concha belts, and other pieces sold through trading posts.

Shipping

U.S. Shipping: One Flat Rate Per Order

Every U.S. order is packed in-house at our gallery and ships insured via USPS or UPS, with signature required on delivery. You pay one flat rate for the whole order, never per item:

  • Fetishes: $8
  • Jewelry & Pottery: $15
  • All other pieces: $20

Buying from more than one category? You only pay the highest rate in your cart, so eight fetishes and a pair of earrings ship together for just $15.

Oversized Pieces

Large or heavy pieces, such as big pottery, baskets, rugs and framed art, are custom-packed and shipped at actual cost. As a guide, that's anything needing a box larger than 12" × 12" × 12" or weighing over 5 lbs. At checkout, choose Oversized – Shipping Invoiced Separately and we'll email your shipping invoice, usually within 24 hours. Contact us for an estimate before you buy.

International

International orders are welcome! We quote international shipping separately and invoice the actual postage after purchase. Contact us beforehand if you'd like an estimate.
