Thank you so much<br>for your time and consideration!<br><br>Lester Jackson was born on the Navajo reservation at Indian Wells, Arizona May<br>5, 1951. He was raised there by his parents Stella and Ghee Thomas along with<br>his seven brothers and sisters. As a young boy he watched his mother, Stella,<br>weave tradition rugs which she sold to provide for the family. By the age of<br>six, he was sent to boarding school where he finished the 8th grade. Later he<br>traveled to Oklahoma to complete high school. During this time he spent nine<br>months away and summers at home on the reservation. Preferring life on the<br>reservation, he set off as a young man in 1972 for Holbrook, Arizona determined<br>to learn silversmithing so he could work from home. He began this journey by<br>first learning to work with silver by cutting out piece work from sheets of<br>silver. Through observation and the use of traditional hand made tools, it<br>wasn’t long before Lester picked up the craft and perfected it. If you ask<br>Lester he will humbly tell you he is still learning. To this day Lester still<br>makes jewelry for Indian traders off the reservation and enjoys the independence<br>of working out of his home while spending time with his wife Sally, six children<br>and seven grandchildren. He hopes that one day his grandchildren will keep the<br>legacy alive.<br><br>anderas<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.
