13" Benson Yazzie Navajo hand stamped sterling collar necklace. Nice piece with a built in loop to hand a hook style pendant. I measured myself after the photos were taken and it‘s 13" inside including the 2.5" flexible gap. It is very sturdy but still flexible. All precious metals are tested and guaranteed. A Native American jewelry piece referred to as "silver" or "ingot" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn‘t an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I‘ve seen thousands of pieces xrf‘d to prove this. Bracelets are photographed on a 6" women‘s wrist.

Child labor laws kept the<br>young man from working as a craftsman, but after World War I he was old enough<br>to be hired as a designer for an important jewelry firm. In 1924 he contracted<br>tuberculosis, and the firm sent him to a sanatorium in Santa Fe, New Mexico.<br>Patania was seduced by the active art colony and healthy climate, and chose to<br>remain in the Southwest even after his health improved. His work reflects both<br>his European training and his exposure to Pueblo and Navajo jewelry.<br><br>The legacy left by Frank Patania, Sr. came from the integration of two<br>distinctly different traditions-one European, and the other Native American. On<br>the one hand, Frank Sr. drew from a long history of Italian creative spirit,<br>combining technical expertise and artistic imagination. He instilled in his<br>family the Italian commitment to fine craftsmanship, as well as the Italian<br>custom of family corporate bonding.<br><br>This uniquely Italian tradition can be traced back as far as the Renaissance,<br>and provides a structure in which each member of an artisan family has a job to<br>perform that contributes to the family enterprise. This familial check and<br>balance system has been a powerful asset to the Patania family's continued<br>standard of excellence through the years. But Frank Sr.'s style was drastically<br>transformed when he was introduced to the work of southwest Native American<br>jewelers in the 1920s.<br><br>His inspiration was multi-faceted; he began to work in a new medium-silver and<br>turquoise-as well as in increased scale, and using new techniques. The<br>successful marriage of these two disparate traditions has become the foundation<br>upon which each generation has maintained the tradition of excellence in<br>craftsmanship and design that has come to be known as the "Patania Thunderbird"<br>style.

1970's Justin Morris Navajo Sterling Turquoise and coral pendant/necklace. 24"<br>necklace, 3" x 2.25" pendant all with no issues. 74.8 grams total.<br><br>Silversmiths Justin and Irene Morris began making jewelry over 50 years ago. At<br>that particular time in American History many Native Americans were turning to<br>art to bring in extra income to support their families (particularly those<br>without college educations); he got the idea from his Grandpa Bitchittti. Not<br>surprisingly, Grandpa proved to be right. In the mid sixties, Southwestern<br>Indian jewelry started to make its way into mainstream America, finding its way<br>across Sacs of Fifth Avenue Catalogs to featured articles in Arizona Highways.<br>Before Justin decided to take up silver, he was a instructional aide for the<br>Government at Dilcon Boarding School. Morris recalls Grandpa looking out for the<br>livelihood of the family and notes, "the idea (for me to become a silversmith)<br>was all Grandpa's...the learning (however) was all self-taught."<br><br>Over the next few years, Morris began to learn and refine the skilled trait of<br>not only fabricating jewelry from sheets of silver and turquoise but also<br>learned the art of marketing. He managed to establish--over the course of 50<br>years--a clientele that spanned from as close as Sedona, Arizona to as far away<br>as Frankfort, Germany. Also over the next few years would come Justin and<br>Irene's children, Charles, Luskey, Calamity, and Keturah who would also take up<br>silversmithing. Today, the business is a family affair and Justin accredits his<br>success to his children's participation in the business and the support of his<br>wife Irene, "(Everyone) They all helped out in the shop, (the children) ever<br>since they were small...working together has brought us closer together." And<br>from the looks of it has kept them together as well.<br><br>Being in the business for over 50 years hasn't however been without its hard<br>times. The Morrises, for business proposes, decided rather than continue to<br>wholesale to retailers to take the business directly to his customers through a<br>market place venue. In the early 90's Justin and his family decided to start to<br>explore these markets. The bonus of exploring markets provided the Morrises with<br>the opportunity that they very rarely had--to meet collectors of his jewelry.<br>These markets also allowed the Morris name to take their business to a wider<br>range of customers, enabling them to hone business according to their customer's<br>needs.<br><br>Over the past years Morris has been able to instinctively, wield his business<br>according to seasons and market places which at times--the family unanimously<br>have admitted--have been a hard study. Surprisingly, the heard times, the<br>Morrises admit, are what measure the high points, which for them were building<br>the family business name. And even in the dreariest of times, which Morrises<br>have confessed their share, they comment, "you keep your mind on the Creator,<br>and keep laughter close." The both of which have propelled his business forward<br>in to the unknown. Today they, the Morrises, together, continue to forge into<br>unknowable.

Mitchell Sockyma Hopi overlay screw back earrings sterling. Solid sterling. Weight and measurements in pics. Mitchell Sockyma was born in Hopiland in 1942 and spent his childhood in the third Mesa village of Hotevilla. In 1973, he landed a job at the Hopi Crafts Shop, a workshop and studio new his home where his two older brothers were also silversmiths. Over the years, Mitchell has expanded his range of skills, including soldering 14k gold onto silver, which embellishes the traditional Hopi symbols he uses. As a member of the Corn Clan, his use of corn stalks is important, as is the Kokopelli, turtles, bear paws, and claws and wave designs. Unlike many other Hopi artists, he combines several of these design elements into one piece. He also incorporates brightly colored gemstones, natural turquoise, lapis and coral into the design. Considered one of the finest contemporary Hopi jewelers today, Mitchell has won numerous awards for his stunning pieces from the Northern Arizona Museum and Gallup, New Mexicos Annual Intertribal Ceremonial. He still resides with his family in Hopiland where he maintains a lifestyle in which art and beauty are intertwined with his Hopi religion and values in his everyday life.
