5 1/8" Chief Wolf Robe Hunt (1905-1977) Acoma Ingot silver and turquoise cuff braceletWayne Wolf Robe Hunt, a full-blood Acoma Indian (1905-1977). Born on the Acoma Reservation, Wolf Robe was the son of Chief Day Break (Edward Proctor Hunt), Chief of the Delight Makers -- a man instrumental in the improvement of relations between the Acomas and whites. His mother, Morning Star, whose own father was Governor of Acoma seven times, was a potter and weaver. Wolf Robe learned silver-smithing from his older brother on the reservation. Wolf Robe achieved recovnition and fame for his jewelry and art work, winning the prestigious Philbrook Art Center's Grand Award in 1967. In addition, he was a businessman, with his own arts and crafts store in Tulsa, a lecturer, international traveller, author, and translator for the Bureau of American Ethnology. He assited L. A. White in his extensive studies of the Acoma Indians and made recordings for the National Anthropological Archives. Wolf Robe was particularly interested in the preservation of tribal customs, language and culture, and devoted his own time to this and the encouragement of others in similar efforts. Of his work at BAE he said, "My work there as an interpreter is the highlight of my efforts in trying to preseve all of the rich and wholesome lore of my people."* Not only was the preservation of the 'old ways' important to Wolf Robe, but also the representation and dissemination of his culture to whites, in an effort to promote their understanding and appreciation. He travelled all over Europe and to Australia for the Departments of Agriculture and Commerce, representing the American Indian to an appreciative audience.All precious metals are tested and guaranteed.

If you look at pictures/description your question<br>should be answered. Thank you so much for your time and consideration!<br><br> NUMEROUS award winner Navajo artist Harry Morgan (1947-2008) was a 5th<br>generation Navajo silversmith who'll always be remembered for his traditional<br>"Vintage Revival-Old Pawn" style jewelry that had these gleaming sterling<br>vintage looking darkened finishings that were made in a classic old style Navajo<br>design..The beauty he gave the sterling was so warm that it brought out the<br>metal's maximum luster..Harry once said "That's the way old style jewelry should<br>look," he said.. "When silver is all shined up it hides all of the intricate<br>detail in the stamp work and the bezels. This older style is what I grew up with<br>and what I love."<br><br>Although it was his mother who inspired him to create this style of jewelry that<br>had that old Navajo look,it was Harry however who was the 1st to bring this<br>style to the forefront of the industry..Paving the way for others like his<br>brother-in-law Kirk Smith who then followed in Harry's footsteps & with Kirk's<br>connection with other artists,they then followed in Kirk's footsteps. Now this<br>is the dominant style amongst most Navajo artists & you see this old pawn style<br>darkened finishing everywhere..Kirks name will always be associated with Harry's<br>& vise versa.<br><br>if you've ever wondered why most Navajo pieces have that old style look &<br>finishing where many of you can't tell if the piece is new or old anymore,it was<br>this man who we can give the credit to for bringing a style of jewelry that we<br>now see everywhere. He lived to see his jewelry being exhibited at the Heard<br>Museum a year before his death..<br><br>All precious metals are tested and guaranteed, any Native American jewelry<br>referred to as Silver or Sterling is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90% (coin)<br>silver and possibly higher content.

6.75" UITA-21 30's-40's Navajo Silver cuff bracelet with turquoise
6.75" UITA-21 30's-40's Navajo Silver cuff bracelet with turquoise, early 1930’s to 1940’s and the place was Santa Fe, New Mexico at the prestigious Indian trading company of Julius Gans known as Southwest Arts and Crafts.The United Indian Trader’s Association or U.I.T.A., founded in 1931 was a voluntary organization made up of the leading Indian traders of the day organized to promote and enforce the highest quality standards for the creation of genuine traditional Indian Arts and Crafts. The members were a veritable who’s who of the leading Indian traders of their dayand all pieces certified by UITA and stamped with their unique arrowhead hallmark had to pass a rigorous set of quality inspections regarding the materials and techniques used. Each member of UITA was assigned a specific numeric code which all pieces sold by them had to be stamped with.One of the most prestigious Indian trading companies of the time was Julius Gans’ Southwest Trading Company of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Julius Gans was an enterprising and dynamic trader who employed at one time or another a veritable All-star team of some of the finest Native American silversmiths in the business; the Roanhorse brothers, Ambrose and Sam, Mark Chee and the fine Cochiti Pueblo silversmith David Taliman among others. The numeric code assigned by UITA to Southwest Arts and crafts was “UITA21” which is the stamp this bracelet is marked with.This bracelet could very easily have been made by any one of Southwest Arts and Crafts’ ace silversmiths; it most resembles in our minds the work of Ambrose Roanhorse but it could easily have been made by his brother Sam or even possibly by Mark Chee or David Taliman or a number of others. The design is a beautiful repeating pattern of nine perfectly-executed diamond-shaped Navajo textile-style designs running across the center of the bracelet’s shank.“The United Indian Traders Association (UITA) was established on September 13, 1931 for the expressed purpose of authentication of Indian crafts. At the time, the UITA as an important player both in Indian cultural life and in advocating for the sale of authentic Indian arts and crafts.UITA was incorporated as a non-profit in New Mexico, with the support of a number of traders and San Francisco attorney Charles Elkus. Bert Staples (Coolidge, NM) was UITA's first President, R. C. Master (Zuni, NM) was Vice President, C. N. Cotton (Gallup, NM) served as Treasurer and Tobe Turpen (Gallup, NM) was Secretary. Directors included L. L. Sabin, C. G. Wallace, J. M. Drolet, Ramon Hubbell, Lloyd Ambrose, Bruce Barnard and Mike Kirk. All of the founding directors and officers were veteran owners of trading posts in the Southwest. The founding membership of 753 grew to over 125 in about 10 years.”-Quotation source and © Bille Hougart BooksAll precious metals are tested and guaranteed.

Paul Livingston Navajo Sterling and #8 Turquoise pendant
Paul Livingston Navajo Sterling and #8 Turquoise pendant 11.7 grams, 8-9mm inside bail, no issues.Paul Livingston was born in 1954 and has spent his entire life on the Navajo<br>Church Rock Reservation, where he grew up watching with fascination as his<br>silversmith Uncle crafted raw metal and<br>stone into beautiful jewelry. Through trial and error and a great deal of help<br>from his Uncle, Paul became an accomplished young jewelry maker.<br><br>By the time he was twenty-two he was ready to launch himself full time into<br>silversmithing. Paul Livingstonis an acclaimed Navajo silversmith who favors<br>substance in his metal work and high-quality, natural stones in all his<br>settings.<br><br>Today, nearly forty years later, Paul is a nationally known and collected<br>jewelry artist. He is particularly known for a style of jewelry most<br>silversmiths shy away from a technique known as ‘cluster and row work’ where<br>multiple tiny stones are used together to form a delicate, colorful designs in<br>jewelry. Paul is happy to work with the little stones, even the tiny round<br>“snake eye” ones and is renowned for how exquisitely aligned the stone clusters<br>and rows of stones are on his pieces.<br><br>Even at his age Paul continues to experiment with new jewelry techniques and<br>design styles. He especially enjoys working unusual textures created on metals<br>and will often incorporate a new surface<br>finish or other design application to see if these changes might enhance the<br>jewelry’s appearance and appeal. Though his forte has always been more<br>traditional even vintage looking Navajo style jewelry, his<br>contemporary designs are also in high demand. Paul Livingston creates beautiful<br>jewelry using stones that aren’t often found in Native American jewelry. The<br>intricate ‘saw work designs’ of his pieces are especially difficult to achieve<br>but so very visually appealing in Paul’s finished work.

6.25" Ric Charlie Navajo sterling tufa cast cuff bracelet with spiderweb turquoise
6.25" Ric Charlie Navajo sterling tufa cast cuff bracelet with spiderweb turquoise.Ric Charlie is an accomplished, self-taught Navajo goldsmith who has gained international acclaim for his tufa-cast jewelry. The texture and fine lines he achieves by carving in tufa stone, combined with colorful patinas and semiprecious stones, define Ric Charlie’s work. For nearly three decades, Ric has been drawing upon traditional Navajo techniques while pushing the boundaries to stay on the cutting edge of jewelry design.Charlie's love of color draws him away from the turquoise commonly found in Southwestern jewelry. He instead favors the gold, rust, red, purple, blue, and green patinas he achieves by adding liver of sulfur to the silver. The fine lines in his jewelry are accomplished by cutting tufa stones (compressed volcanic rock) with dental tools.Ric learned basic jewelry-making techniques in 1973 when he was in high school. He studied jewelry-making and design in college at Arizona State University and University of Arizona, and went on to teach himself tufa casting after being inspired by the work of Preston Monongye and Charles Loloma.“Sandcasting is a pretty difficult medium,” Ric Charlie says. “But for me it’s second nature. Everything I do is cast, and 99 percent of them are one-of-a-kind.”In 1983, Ric helped to design and construct the staff and medallion used by the president of Arizona State University.Today, Ric Charlie teaches and advises Native artists in his unique tufa-casting methods, while still producing top-of-the-line work for galleries and collectors around the world. Ric has received numerous awards from competitions at the Heard Museum and Sante Fe Indian Market, including Best of Show, Best of Class, and the Raymond Dewey Memorial Award for Excellence in Tufa Stone Casting.Marked or unmarked as shown in pics, weight and other measurements in pics.
