Calvin Martinez - born 1960 -draws his creative inspiration<br>from his Navajo heritage. ”I look to the old silversmiths and my culture. There<br>would not be a Calvin Martinez silversmith without the Navajo tradition to guide<br>me“.<br><br>He comes from a well- known family of silversmiths; his brother Terry Martinez,<br>is also a well-known silversmith.

Calvin<br>brings this attitude of quiet strength to each of his creations.<br><br>With only heavy-gauge silver, skillful hands and an eye for balance, he infuses<br>each piece with the power of simplicity.

No damage.<br><br>MAT-MATILDE POULAT & RICARDO SALAS JEWELRY<br>Matl is the mark that appears on some of the most beautiful and unique jewelry<br>in Mexico.<br>Matilde Eugenia Poulat introduced MATL in 1934 and, since her death in 1960, her<br>designs and techniques have been carried on by her nephew, Ricardo Salas. For<br>sr. Salas, who can recite poetry in the language of the Aztecs, the mark matl,<br>has greater meaning in its reference to the Nahuatl or Aztec word for water,<br>atl.<br><br>As a young woman, Matilde Poulat studied painting at the prestigious San Carlos<br>academy of fine arts in Mexico city, she went on to teach painting classes at an<br>art school until her interest turned exclusively to silver. Matilde Poulat´s<br>designs for jewelry and figures were part of the new cultural vision among<br>Mexico’s intellectuals after the revolution in 1920s, artists were searching for<br>Mexican aesthetic, rejection European subjects in favor of the art of the<br>pre-conquest Indians and of the Mexican pueblos. Sra. Poulat found inspiration<br>in the mextec gold jewelry discovered in 1932 at Monte Alban. Her choice of<br>motifs the dove, flowers, and tiny bells are reminiscent of the whimsical<br>subjects of contemporary Mexican folk art.<br><br>Matilde Poulat received international recognition for her jewelry when she was<br>asked in 1941 to participate in an exhibit of Latin American silver at the pan<br>American union in Washington, D.C. as a result of increasing demand for matl<br>silver during world war ii , the number of silversmiths in the taller increased<br>to thirty-three. In 1950, Srta. Poulat and her nephew opened a showroom on the<br>first floor of her home, where she also had the workshop. Ricardo Salas recalls<br>that they made three thousand types of silver jewelry and one hundred different<br>pieces.<br><br>Ricardo Salas worked closely with his aunt from the time he was eleven years of<br>age. He says she recognized his artistic talent when she saw him do a play with<br>puppets he had made himself. Sr. Salas was sent to the San Carlos academy, where<br>he received the premio Diego Rivera. As a youth, he learned the techniques of<br>the silversmith and perfected the carving of "Off White", coral, turquoise, and<br>other stones used in the jewelry and figurines. From sr. Salas perspective, he<br>and his aunt collaborated so closely as designers, that there really cannot be a<br>comparison of their work.<br><br>In 1955, William Spratling wrote of Matilde Poulat: “she has continued to<br>produce some of the most charming native jewelry in Mexico, intensely her own.<br>Her jewelry has the same charm and delightful surface and colorful quality of<br>the old lacquer work of Uruapan. Spratling`s admiration for matl silver reflects<br>his recognition of their shared appreciation for Mexican native art. This mutual<br>inspiration led each of the two artists in different directions within the same<br>medium. The exuberance of matl silver resembles the interiors of the churches in<br>Puebla, like the chapel of Santa Maria Tonantzintla, where Indians covered the<br>interior of the dome with polychromed and gilded angels. In matl silver, the<br>introduction of color is accomplished with bits of coral, turquoise, and<br>amethyst quartz. The surfaces are decorated with applied wire and elaborated<br>with embossing and repousse of astounding complexity (pl.XXIII-1, XXIII-10).<br>Matilde Poulat and Ricardo Salas have been successful in incorporating the<br>artistic language of the Mixtecs into jewelry and silver figures with<br>imagination, drama, and with a style that is completely personal.

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 LIVINGSTON Paul 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.
