Jan Pomianowski Turquoise, baroque pearl, Butterscotch Amber sterling necklace. Solid sterling silver tested and guaranteed beads with the markings shown, with weight and measurements in the pictures. No issues, circa last quarter of the 20th century. Jan Pomianowski was born in Gdynia, but he has lived and worked in Kashubia for over twenty years. He graduated in painting at the State College of Fine Arts, currently functioning as the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk. He has been associated with the jewelry industry for a quarter of a century, he has been constantly developing new collections in which he often modifies style, materials, concepts and distinctions. Therefore, each jewelry has new features, which makes Jan Pomianowski‘s collections so sought after for uniqueness. In designing and creating jewelry, the artist often draws inspiration from the world of fairy tales, fairy tales, as well as from his personal experiences. An example is the story of one of the rings in our collection with the image of an owl carved in amber sitting on a branch. Owls remembered from the earliest childhood, because living in a tree neighboring his family home. Probably the effect of such an approach to work are emotions, and these are positive emotions that you experience when interacting with this jewelry. In addition to the extraordinary imagination, the artist is also characterized by reliability, precision and the ability to choose the method of implementation to the assumed concept. Finished jewelry therefore consists of detailed elements, perfectly matched to the whole, creating a unique, hand-created product. All items are color and functional. This means that the artist‘s works, in addition to their artistic function, can and do have practical functions. A notable example is the shaving kit by Jan Pomianowski, consisting of a bowl, razor with replaceable blade and brush with natural badger hair (product available in our gallery). The artist‘s commitment to his work shows his active participation in many of the most important fairs and events of the jewelery world. Jan Pomianowski participates in domestic and foreign fairs, e.g. Amberif, Inhorgenta or Tucson. An interesting anecdote is the fact that during the visit of the Norwegian Royal Couple to Poland in 2012, the then presidential couple, the State of Komorowski, gave JKM Sonji a set by Jan Pomianowski. This set was named after the queen of Poland - Anna Jagiellon and comes from the series "Great Queens".

No damage or significant wear. Ramon Dalangyawma Born Ramon Albert, Jr. (a non-Hopi surname), his grandmother gave him the name Dalangyawma, a name of the Greasewood Clan. As a young man, he attended school in Santa Fe and served in the US Marines. Ramon began his silver working career in 1978 at Hopicrafts then located near the village of Hotevilla. His designs come from his experiences in life - clouds, thunderbolts and rain - important in an area with no irrigation for crops; and bear, spider, antelope, prayer feathers, kachinas, kokopelli, corn - the clan religious symbols, the basis of Hopi life. Ramon‘s work is characterized by the very heavy weight (thickness) silver he uses and his laser like precision in cutting out his designs and meticulous background stamping - nothing but the highest quality. He is a very fine man who we are proud to call our friend! Ramon uses his name stamped into the reverse of his pieces as his hallmark. Earlier examples of his work were marked with a composite RA. Ramon lives in Hotevilla. His son Cheston was honorably discharged from the Marine Corp and graduated from Arizona State University where he obtained his Master‘s Degree in Criminal Justice. At present, Cheston is living in Artesia, NM and working as an instructor at the Federal Police Academy. Mindful of his role in encouraging the next generation of Native American artisans, Fritz has returned as an instructor to the Poeh Arts Center in Pojoaque, NM, where he was once a student. His time as a teacher has helped to strengthen his own skills as a jewelry-maker and inspires him and his students to experiment with progressive designs. An amiable spirit, Fritz explains that his fashion-forward, sculptural jewelry designs are a combination of forethought and serendipitous discovery, resulting in jewelry that excites both his students and collectors. Examples of his awe-inspiring jewelry can be seen in Dexter Cirillo‘s book, Southwestern Indian Jewelry.

Boyd Tsosie Navajo 14k gold, diamond, opal, and coral beaded necklace. All of the metal on this necklace is tested and guaranteed solid 14k gold, weight and measurements in pictures. No issues, circa last quarter of the 20th century. Natural Opal and Mediterranean coral beads and inlay outside the pendant. My monitor is off, but these pics look really bad to me. It‘s gold, it‘s beautiful. Boyd Tsosie is a jeweler who draws inspiration from the rich heritage of his Navajo traditions. Born in 1954, he has been making jewelry since he was sixteen years of age. In 1979, Boyd Tsosie was only 23. He was already among the top echelon of Southwestern jewelers / silversmiths (both past and present). Boyd was featured in Arizona Highways along with other greats like Jesse Monongye, his brother Richard Tsosie, Gibson Nez, James Little, and Larry Golsch. These Navajo silversmiths all would go on to build fine reputations and set the standards you see today for Southwest jewelry. Kenneth Begaye, a teacher at the Navajo Community College on the Navajo Reservation, inspired Boyd at a young age. Boyd gives credit to Kenneth for teaching him his trade. Kenneth Begay has been deemed the father of modern Navajo jewelry. Before Kenneth Begay, Navajo Indian Jewelry was much like it had been for the past 100 years. Navajo jewelry had a strong Spanish influence. Which is entirely understandable since it was a Mexican silversmith (who learned from the Spanish) that taught the first Navajo to work silver. Boyd considers Kenneth Begay a major influence and carries on today the work of Kenneth Begay. Boyd Tsosie continues to move Navajo jewelry forward and he, like Kenneth Begay, generously shares his knowledge with other silversmiths. Boyd, working with his brother Richard, first gained widespread recognition for his soldered flower and leaf designs. Later, he moved his jewelry designs to a more complex, contemporary look. Over the years Boyd has developed a contemporary style of work primarily in 14K gold combined with turquoise, coral, lapis, and sugilite. Boyd feels that he is creating “tomorrows tradition in Navajo jewelry by being given the rights and prayers by his elders to create his special pieces. He is featured in Navajo Indian Jewelry and Enduring Traditions by Jerry and Lois Jacka and North American Indian Jewelry and Adornment by Lois Dubin. In recent years, Boyd and his son have given back to the Navajo Nation with a nonprofit to give counsel and help to those with substance challenges.

Blackinton 14k gold/Sterling silver hand hammered pendant necklace. Very high quality with no issues. Weight and measurements in pictures. 18" necklace, Pendant is hand hammered with a very thick gauge solid 14k gold sphere. 1862 R. Blackinton & Co Founded North Attleboro, MA As the Civil War raged, Roswell Blackinton (Susanne Ross Blackinton-Juaires great-great-grandfather) co-founded R. Blackinton & Co with Walter Ballou; a full silver house that specialized in silver and goldsmithing, engraving, enameling, metal spinning, and more. The company stands as a significant chapter in the history of American silverware and jewelry manufacturing. Into the early 20th century, R. Blackinton & Company increased its lines to include, at various times, sterling silver jewelry, dresser ware, fancy table pieces, novelties, and 14 karat gold merchandise. In 1937, the company added an exclusive line of fine Sterling flatware and hollowware for retail jewelers. It remained for over 100 years under the management of its founding families until its sale in 1967. One of the companys notable achievements occurred in the mid-1960s when their Marie Louise flatware pattern was selected by the U.S. State Department. This elegant design was chosen for use in all United States embassies around the world, serving as a testament to the companys reputation for producing items of exceptional quality and design. A heritage of quality craftsmanship that S. R. Blackinton continues today.

This is basically the same size/weight as the one previously sold. Etsitty Tsosie was active from 1910-1937 and passed away in 1937. Best known for his beautiful stamp work and repousse pieces. He worked for trader C.G. Wallace for a period of time and was commissioned to produce stamps. He and Hosteen Goodluck worked closely together creating many of the early concho belts and other detailed pieces of jewelry. Several of his pieces were featured in the C.G. Wallace collection. Mentioned in the John Adair 1944 book, Eskiesose (C.G. Wallace‘s questionable spelling) preferred to work without strangers watching him, as he insisted his silver would not melt correctly.

24" Foree Hunsicker Sterling Luggage Tag/Medal Charm Necklace 24" total length. Weight and measurements in pictures. The whole necklace is sterling. I believe it was all made by Foree Hunsicker and has always been like this. Not every piece is marked. Foree Hunsicker (1932-2015) In 1954, she graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in art. At UT, she was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority. Later, she studied at Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC and the Arts Students League in New York City. Foree always had an artistic bent. At various times, she was a painter, clothes designer, and interior decorator. Her greatest success, however, came as a jewelry manufacturer when she started a company in 1987 called Medalias by Foree Hunsicker. At one time employing nearly fifty people, Medalias specialized in luggage tag jewelry, reproducing in sterling silver a wide variety of Victorian-era luggage tags and fashioning them into earrings, necklaces, and other accessories. A fixture for many years in the North Texas design world and at the Apparel Mart, Foree was honored with a Dallas Fashion Award in 1995.

1980‘s Francis Jones Navajo Rainbow Guardian squash blossom necklace. 26" total length, other Weight and measurements in pics. No damage or issues. Francis Jones was born in 1944 and has been a silversmith since she was a young girl. Her father, a fourth-generation silversmith, taught her the intricate art of metalwork, particularly sand casting, which was a specialty in her family. This technique, along with other methods she has mastered, allows her to create jewelry that is rich in texture and detail. Over the years, her reputation as an artist has grown, and she has won numerous awards for her contributions to Native American jewelry. As a member of the Navajo Nation, Francis Joness designs are deeply rooted in her culture. Her pieces often carry symbolic meanings, with elements that represent both the natural world and the spiritual beliefs of her people. Each piece is marked with her signature hallmark, "FJ," a symbol of her dedication to quality and authenticity. The Artistry Behind Francis Jones‘s Jewelry Collection Francis Jones, a renowned Navajo artist, has captivated the world with her exquisite jewelry designs that seamlessly blend traditional techniques with modern aesthetics. Her mastery of the art of sand casting, a process that involves pouring molten silver into hand-carved molds made from compacted sand, is the foundation of her unique and distinctive style. The sand-casting method employed by Francis Jones is a labor-intensive process that makes sure each piece is one-of-a-kind, bearing the artist‘s personal touch and signature. This ancient technique passed down through generations of Navajo silversmiths, allows for the creation of intricate patterns and textures that cannot be replicated by modern manufacturing methods. In addition to her expertise in sand casting, Francis Jones features stunning stone settings and hand-stamped details in her jewelry designs. The result is a timeless and distinctive collection that attracts both collectors and everyday wearers.

Manuel Hoyungowa Hopi Large sterling silver dancer pendant in overlay style. Solid sterling, weight and measurements in pics. Fully functional and attractive vintage piece in good condition with no significant issues, but some expected wear. Manuel Hoyungowa (ca. 19532011) Hopi Tribe was from the village of Hotevilla on Third Mesa and has been an active silversmith at Hopi Pueblo since the 1970s. His hallmark is a strong raincloud. Although he has produced some jewelry with coral and turquoise, more in the style of Navajo work, Hoyungowa is a master silversmith which is evident in his traditional Hopi silver overlay technique jewelry. Hoyungowa actually learned silver overlay technique from Preston Monongye (his uncle and another famous Hopi artisan) and the Institute Of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico. More History: The Indian Arts and Crafts Board (a government department) and the Hopi Tribe collaborated on the formation of the Hopi Silvercraft Guild in 1949 and noted Hopi artist Fred Kabotie became the manager. It was then that Hopi overlay jewelry found it acceptance. Hopi overlay technique involves cutting out the desired design in one piece of silver and overlaying that onto another piece that has been incised and oxidized. Polishing is accomplished with steel wool which results in a matte rather than a shiny surface.

Laarge Richard Begay Navajo sterling multistone flush inlay pendant. Solid sterling, weight and measurements in pics with no issues. Richard Begay was born and raised in Navajoland, Arizona. Throughout his art classes in school, he always wanted to create the perfect shape. His first career, however, took him into the Forest Industry. He soon realized that he wanted to follow the yearnings of his heart and create beautiful jewelry. He borrowed jewelry tools from his father-in-law and set to work, learning the demanding craft of silversmithing. Richard was immediately drawn to the intricate inlay work, for which he is known for. As he perfected his craft, Richard explored different techniques of inlaying. He was always searching for the best way, the most beautiful setting, the perfect harmony of material and craft. He also developed an eye for choosing the best stones for his inlay. Turquoise and coral are his favorite, but Richard used a wide variety of stones and shells, including malachite, spiny oyster, and pacific coral. Not limited to the usual in anything he did, he also inlaid opals, sugilite, lapis and other exotic stones into his award-winning pieces. The importance of harmony in his work was echoed in his silverwork, especially his pendants. In these pieces, he incorporated important symbols from his culture. Corn was a significant gift to the People by the Creator--it represents life to the Navajo. The Yei-Be-Che is the personal link between the Navajo gods and mortal man. The Bear, one of the four animals given to the first people, embodies power and wisdom. It was provided for protection and guidance, and to ward off evil. Richard also used the Steppe Design found in the wedding baskets and recreates special times, such as the social dances he goes to. Encircling it all is his extraordinary inlay, adding color and life. The beautiful things Richard looked for exist in his creations. Richard passed away in 2013.

Alvin Monte Navajo 14k/sterling pendant. Solid 14k/sterling with no damage or significant wear. Navajo jewelry artist Alvin Monte works in both gold and silver, often making his own stamping tools to create one-of-a-kind designs. Born in Socorro, Monte grew up in Canoncito, New Mexico. Both his parents were well-known silversmiths but Monte didnt pick up the trade until he moved away from home. He is a self-taught silversmith. His inspirations often come from petroglyphs or pueblo designs although the execution of his designs is more symbolic than realistic. The result is a more modern verses traditional design that he likes to embellish with various stones including amethysts and garnets for a lustrous effect. Monte is now teaching his young son, who at age nine shows a talent for silver-smithing, thus elevating another generation of the Montes into the artist world.
