Tommy Jackson Navajo Sterling turquoise bolo tie
Tommy Jackson Navajo Sterling turquoise bolo tie. Nice large bolo from a well<br>respected artist. Tommy's bolo's tend to retail 2-4k each new. Bolo measures<br>2.5" x 1 5/8" tips are thick and heavy Cord is thick and very well made with no<br>issues. 46" long with a total weight of 108.1 grams.<br><br>Tommy Jackson was born in Phoenix, Arizona on January20, 1958 but grew up in the<br>heart of Navajo land in Chinle, Arizona. He went to high school in Chinle, the<br>town at the mouth of the legendary Canyon de Chelly—a stronghold for 19th<br>century Navajo, known then as the “Lords of the Land”. Steeped in mythology,<br>this landscape echoes the strength and beauty in the Navajo bedrock of<br>beliefs—foremost of those is responsibility to family and clan. A husband,<br>father, and grandfather, Tommy is also a world-renowned gold and silversmith,<br>his award-winning pieces on exhibit in museums and treasured in collections<br>around the world. As a premier Navajo Silversmith he counted amongst those few<br>known as “The Supersmiths.”<br><br>Jackson started silversmithing in 1973, learning at the bench of his parents,<br>renowned silversmiths Gene and Martha Jackson. (He is also the nephew of Dan<br>Jackson, another well-known silversmith.) However, it was his mother who urged<br>him to pursue a degree, and he followed her footsteps into education, eventually<br>teaching elementary school at Wide Ruins on the Reservation. But jewelry-making<br>called to him in his spare time, in the after-hours, in the late night, and by<br>1988 he was winning prestigious awards, and has continued winning nearly every<br>year since at the big shows, including Santa Fe Indian Market and the Heard. He<br>was also chosen as Navajo Tribal representative for the Salt Lake City Winter<br>Olympics.<br><br>A striking example of Tommy’s pieces is the motif of Navajo rug designs. He<br>sometimes works these patterns directly into the gold or silver; or he inlays<br>stones in visually stunning creations that reflect the complexity of Navajo<br>tapestries. Other pieces are a declaration of his passion for high-grade<br>American turquoise. These pieces are all about the great stone. He will use<br>heavy-gauge silver, and in keeping with the old style tradition then chisel or<br>hand-stamp, all with an eye of showcasing a great old American turquoise stone<br>such as Bisbee, Morenci, Lander Blue or Candelaria. He is known for integrating<br>traditional Navajo designs with a modern flair, working with gold and silver and<br>a variety of precious and semi-precious stones.<br><br>He has won numerous awards for his beautiful and unique jewelry from the Heard<br>Museum Show in Phoenix, Santa Fe Indian Market and The Museum of Northern<br>Arizona, to name a few including First at Indian Market, as recently as 2014. He<br>and his wife, Marie, who does much of the stone-cutting for his pieces, have<br>pieces featured in national publications.

His trademark techniqie of granulation was discovered by accident when he noticed silver filings were fusing onto a ring he was soldering. He calls the process which produces this granulated surface texture “reticulation,” and he has been perfecting the technique throughout his career.<br><br>Born in 1956, Richard has been a jeweler since the mid 1970s. He learned jewelry making from his brother Boyd and from Kenneth Begay at Navajo Community College in Arizona. He quickly progressed from basic tasks of cutting and polishing stones to the more complex process of inlay.<br><br>Richard’s contemporary silver and hold work features the use of fabrication, overlay, and granulation. He is also known for colorful inlay work with a variety of natural stones and for his fine degree of control and attention to detail. His designs are motivated by images of the natural world, particularly the Wide Ruins area of the reservation where he spent a large part of his youth. Richard says of his work, “I am inspired by the colors of the mountains at sunset, the patterns of shadow and light that emerge at dawn, and the pinpoints of starlight against the black night sky.”<br><br>His pieces typically contain the symbol for lighting and an arrow pattern. The lightning stands for natural causes, while the arrowhead symbolizes man-made elements. Richard says the design represents the ups and downs of life. “Some things we can’t do anything about and you should try to enjoy life to the fullest.”
