TRIBAL AFFILIATION:
Navajo Nation

CLASSIFICATION:

MATERIAL/TECHNIQUE:
My silversmith examples of my jewelry artwork are composed of sterling silver ingot and natural high grade turquoise. I smelted the silver for ingot and beads to make the cuffs, bezels, and embellishments. My silver work is hand stamped, hammered, milled, chased, chiseled, filed, sawed and soldered. I personally made some of the stamps and the bead shot plate used. I castellated each bezel for the natural high grade Apache Blue, Bisbee, and Sleeping Beauty Turquoise. To complete the pieces I sanded and finished one cuff in a high polish and the other two with a satin steel wool polish.
