Still in like new condition with no damage or detectable wear.

He creates jewelry and paintings from his home in New Mexico. Growing up in Douglas, Arizona, he has been working with stone and silver for over 20 years. "I like E.S.

I've done drawings and I paint". He was one of five silversmiths invited to the Night of the First Americans at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., and he has had showings of his jewelry in galleries and museums in many parts of the country as well as in Germany, Japan, and Canada. Danny Romero is no longer producing jewelry. The jewelry we have was made by Danny Romero circa 2005. Danny received wide acclaim in the 1970's-80's for both his traditional turquoise jewelry as well as his inlay jewelry.

Super clean with no detectable damage or wear inside or out. I don't believe it has ever been worn. Hallmarked by artist twice in interior, hallmarked 14k 3 times in interior.  This bracelet it composed of 14k gold, Gem Silica, Natural Australian Opal, Carnelian, Chalcedony, and Lapis Lazuli.   Duane Maktima was studying education at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, when a dean suggested he switch his major to art. “ I thought it would be a hobby.” Growing up in tiny towns in Arizona under the tutelage of his Hopi and Laguna relatives, Maktima learned how to carve and paint, but these artworks were referred to as “blessings” and not art. The Dean, having seen Duane’s work was insistent. When Maktima first laid eyes on the jewelry in the jewelry lab, he says, “It was like my whole life flashed before my eyes, I was hooked.” It took a decade for Maktima to complete his degree. He left college to work as a resident artist at the nearby Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff. At only 19 years old he was given a studio and stipend to make jewelry which was snapped up by visitors from around the world.  Eventually he embarked on a personal retreat from the pressure and spent 3 years at Laguna Pueblo. Maktima worked there as a survey helper and everyday he walked the country from Second Mesa to Black Mesa.  During these long walks he came to deeply appreciate his heritage and decided to complete his education. When he did return to university, it was an exciting time for Native American artists. His research into African and Indian art led him create spiritual based  pieces from beads, shell work mosaics, motifs from Hopi pottery, hollow silver tubes, gold , lapis, turquoise , and red coral. In 1982, Maktima,  received a second-ever fellowship from the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts. He moved to Sante Fe a year later. An active community leader,  he has influenced many young people to pursue a career in art.  His brooches, buckles, and other exquisite jewelry have been featured in some of the best Native American galleries. In 1990, Northern Arizona University honored the artist with its 2000 Distinguished Alumni Artist Award, Distinguished Achievement Award, and member of the President’s Circle. Maktima credits his achievements to his education and his family. “I can hear grandpa saying, ‘You have really learned something.

プレストン モノンイェ (ホピ) (1927-1987) トゥファ キャスト ローズ ゴールド チャンネル インレイ ブレスレット。最大6 3/8インチの手首にフィットし、幅20mmから30mmまで先細になっています。ユニークなブレスレットで、ゴールドで作られた非常に珍しい例です。プレストン・モノンイェは多くの金で加工されておらず、市場に出回った作品はほとんどありません。私は個人的にこのマシンを 30,000 ドル以上の XRF マシンでテストしましたが、金の範囲は 40 ～ 43% (平均約 10,000) で、これは実際に完全に理にかなっています。この場合、彼が金のスクラップを溶かしたことはある程度明白で、おそらく顧客か友人がこれを作るために持ち込んだものであり、これはおそらくカスタム作品であったと思われます。私たちが撮影した最低の金含有量の写真では、銅 48.13%、金 40.08%、銀 8.18%、亜鉛 3.49%、ニッケル 0.12% であることがわかりました。Preston Monongye (1927-1987) は、次のような影響力のある提唱者でした。彼は「新しいインド芸術」と呼んだ。彼は、「陶器の破片や絵文字から取った古いデザインとともに、古い技術を使用することもありますが、その場合はそれらを再デザインするか、独自の革新を追加します。」プレストンは、型破りで遅咲きのジュエリー製作の道を歩んできました。 2 つの戦争に従軍し、法執行機関で働き、インディアン問題局の職員でした。彼がジュエリー作りにフルタイムで専念することを決意したのは晩年になってからであり、それが数々の賞を受賞しました。彼は常にジュエリーを実験し、プレストンは主に自分の作品の金属加工とデザインを担当し、友人で高名な宝石細工アーティストのリー・ヤジーに象嵌を行わせ、その後息子のジェシー・モノンジーに宝石細工の仕事を任せました。彼の作品は全国で展示されています。カリフォルニア州イーストロサンゼルスで、メキシコ人とミッションインディアンの両親のもとに生まれたモノンゲは、7 歳でホピ族の家族に養子縁組されました。彼はホピ族として育てられ、ホピ語を話し、参加しました。カツィナ協会で。 9 歳のとき、モノンイェは叔父で銀細工師兼画家のジーン・プーヤマのもとで見習いを始めました。 「彼は私に『ホピ流』の生き方を教えてくれました」とモノンゲさんは思い出します。彼のキャリアを通じて、モノンゲの作品ではホピ族の色とイメージが際立っていました。しかしモノンゲは、ネイティブ ジュエリーは過去に縛られるべきではないと断固として主張し、次のように説明しました。ホピ・メサの男性たちは、「自分たちの伝統や宗教を傷つけずに進歩できるなら、そうすべきだ。」 1927年にロサンゼルスで生まれた彼は、7歳でホピに捨てられ、著名なホピ家に養子として引き取られた。モノンゲは保留地学校に通い、ホピ族の宗教的および社会的生活に完全に参加しました。 第二次世界大戦で空挺部隊として従軍した後、モノンゲはカチナの画家となり、貿易商ローマン ハベルやフレッド ハーベイ カンパニーで時々働きました。モノンゲは朝鮮戦争中に再入隊し、その後インド問題局の法執行機関で働きながら、絵を描いたりシルバーのジュエリーを作り続けました。 1960 年代初頭に仕事を辞めてジュエリー作りを始めたモノンイェは、すぐに革新的なデザイナー兼技術者として認められるようになり、伝統的な技術やモチーフを使って現代的なスタイルを生み出す「新しいインド芸術」に没頭しました。新しい外観。彼は石をセットしたキャストシルバーで最もよく知られており、しばしば友人のリー・ヤジーによってカットされ、後に息子のジェシーによってカットされました。モノンゲはさまざまな学校やワークショップで自分の芸術を教え、現代のネイティブ デザインについて広く講義を行いました。彼はショーやコンテストで多くの賞を受賞しており、彼のジュエリーはフラッグスタッフの北アリゾナ博物館やサンタフェのホイールライト博物館などの博物館のコレクションに収蔵されています。
