Marian Nez Navajo Sterling and turquoise necklace 18" long necklace, 4" x 1.25"pendant, 48.3 grams with no issues.Marian Nez (’Alch’i’håå baa’); a Navajo originally from Tohajiilee, New Mexico. Marian is the wife of Navajo Silversmith, Leonard Nez.“The love of being a silversmith started long before I knew to design jewelry. I had watched my parents work on their jewelry and decided to solder some pieces for them when they made a trip to town. Little did I know that this was to be the beginning of my love of jewelry making. I will always give thanks and forever be grateful to my parents for introducing me to the craft and handing down this amazing skill to me.Starting in the late 1970’s I worked in various jewelry shops through Albuquerque, New Mexico, doing mass production work and designing individual pieces. During my work with Zachary Jewelry Company, they promoted my creativity and entered some individual pieces of my jewelry in art shows. My designs were awarded first and second place ribbons. In addition, a photo of me working on my jewelry was published in the book, “Allure of Turquoise Book” written by Joe Dan Lowry.In early 2000’s my husband Leonard Nez (whom I taught the craft to) and I started our own jewelry business. After my father passed from complication of diabetes, I decided to explore the health field to understand and educate myself about diabetes and help others. I enrolled in Community Colleges where I accomplished my goal of becoming a Certified Community Health Worker, specializing in diabetes prevention with Native people. My passion for my jewelry still lingered, so I worked part-time on my jewelry. I did not want to lose the unique craftsmanship and design work I so loved.The designs that I now create represent a tribute to my parents, who I am, and where I come from. Each piece that is created comes from the humble heart and positive thoughts. I want the person wearing my jewelry to know and feel the love that’s behind my work.”-Marian NezAll precious metals are tested and guaranteed, any Native American jewelry referred to as Silver or Sterling is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90% (coin) silver and possibly higher content.

Paul Livingston Navajo Sterling and Sonoran Gold turquoise pendant 3.75" x 1" x 27.6 grams with no issues.PAUL LIVINGSTONPaul Livingston was born in 1954 and has spent his entire life on the Navajo Church Rock Reservation, where he grew up watching with fascination as his silversmith Uncle crafted raw metal and stone into beautiful jewelry. Through trial and error and a great deal of help from his Uncle, Paul became an accomplished young jewelry maker.By the time he was twenty-two he was ready to launch himself full time into silversmithing. Paul Livingstonis an acclaimed Navajo silversmith who favors substance in his metal work and high-quality, natural stones in all his settings. Today, nearly forty years later, Paul is a nationally known and collected jewelry artist. He is particularly known for a style of jewelry most silversmiths shy away from a technique known as ‘cluster and row work’ where multiple tiny stones are used together to form a delicate, colorful designs in jewelry. Paul is happy to work with the little stones, even the tiny round “snake eye” ones and is renowned for how exquisitely aligned the stone clusters and rows of stones are on his pieces.Even at his age Paul continues to experiment with new jewelry techniques and design styles. He especially enjoys working unusual textures created on metals and will often incorporate a new surface finish or other design application to see if these changes might enhance the jewelry’s appearance and appeal. Though his forte has always been more traditional even vintage looking Navajo style jewelry, his contemporary designs are also in high demand. Paul Livingston creates beautiful jewelry using stones that aren’t often found in Native American jewelry. The intricate ‘saw work designs’ of his pieces are especially difficult to achieve but so very visually appealing in Paul’s finished work.All precious metals are tested and guaranteed, any Native American jewelry referred to as Silver or Sterling is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90% (coin) silver and possibly higher content.

I've been the understudy of master silversmith Jake Livingston from such a young age, nine years old to be exact, all the while finding and incorporating my own techniques and designs.

If I am not working on jewelry I am in Pine Springs tending the family ranch.I am Navajo and part Zuni. Both of my cultures influence my work, however as of late my motivation is derived from my beliefs in the Native American Church. I've also been trained in metal fabrication receiving certifications with high honors from Tulsa Welding School and San Juan Community College. This type of training has allowed me to create my own style of metal fabrication including heavy stamp work. My beliefs play an important role in my life and it's depicted in my work. I continue to blend my ideas with my techniques to innovate within my medium however one day I plan to expand my boundaries.I have won several ribbons for First Place titles in prestige art shows around the country including the Santa Fe Indian Market, Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair and Market, Southwest Indian Art Fair and the Navajo Nation Fair.

Richard Tsosie Navajo Cobblestone inlay Tufa cast belt buckle. 2 5/8" x 2",takes up to a 1.25" belt.Artists › Richard Tsosie Richard is perhaps best known for his distinctive textured silver designs. 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.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.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.”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.”All precious metals are tested and guaranteed, any Native American jewelry referred to as Silver or Sterling is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90% (coin) silver and possibly higher content.

Herbert and Veronica Thompson Navajo Sterling Multi-Stone Channel inlay pendant. 21.5 grams 2 7/8" tall x 15/16" wide. No damage, little to no wear.Herb and Veronica ThompsonHerb is full-blooded Navajo (Dineh), and was born and raised in Shiprock, New Mexico. He was born into the Redhouse Clan (Kinlichiini) for the Bitter Water Clan (Tohdichiini). Veronica, as well is full-blooded Navajo (Dineh), was born and raised in Tuba City, Arizona, and is born into the Salt (Ashiihi) Clan for the Tsinajinnie Clan and has attended school there until transferring to the Intermountain Indian High School in Brigham City, Utah, where as coincidence would have it, Herb also transferred from Shiprock to Intermountain High School. This led to love and marriage. They have been married 45 years in August. Herb and his family currently live just outside of Farmington, New Mexico in a small community called Kirtland. They have four outstanding children, two young men and two beautiful daughters. The oldest one Aaron, Eric, Letitia, and the youngest Nicole. They have eleven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, Amari and Araceli. Herb and Veronica are respected members of the community and are very giving people. Herb is part of the team that put together the juried art show in Farmington called The Totah Festival. It is a big draw and has many excellent artists attend. Herb sees to it that the work displayed there are authentic and handmade. His knowledge is highly respected in both stones and metals. One of his great joys is sharing that knowledge with the people that purchase his jewelry. They are former members of the Indian Arts & Crafts Association out of Albuquerque, New Mexico and the American Indian Guild of Fresno, California.Both Herb and Veronica are self-taught artists. They have been doing this for 32 years. It began as a part-time operation. Herb started silversmithing between construction and oil field truck driving jobs. They used to fall back on their jewelry until another job came around. Finally, a family friend and well-known artist, Mark Silversmith, took Herb with him to an art show. He saw the quality in Herb’s work. After an hour, Herb sold all the bolo ties he had with him, and that started the process that turned the jewelry business into a successful full-time venture. The Thompsons now attend at least one major art show per month and they are recognized wherever they go. They regularly get invitations to sell their jewelry throughout the country. In the summertime they display and sell their art work at the Four Corners Monument where they meet people from all over the world. In the wintertime, they go to various juried art shows.Herb decided to try silversmithing after hearing from his mother that his grandfather made jewelry in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s to support his family. Herb never met his grandfather, but told himself and family that he will continue the silversmithing and carry on the jewelry business.
