Sorry but my jewelry is stored in a secure location and cannot be accessed for more pictures, videos, or measurements until sold. If you look at pictures/description your<br>question should be answered. Thank you so much for your time and consideration! If you would like to chat, that would be great, but lets chat about something that isn't answered in this listing that we put so much effort into already :)<br><br>All precious metals are tested and guaranteed. A Native American jewelry piece referred to as "silver" or "ingot" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn't an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I've seen thousands of pieces xrf'd to prove this. Bracelets are photographed on a 6" women's wrist.

  • Large Tommy Jackson navajo sterling turquoise and lapis pendant/pin

    Large Tommy Jackson navajo sterling turquoise and lapis pendant/pin

    1 in stock

    Large Tommy Jackson navajo sterling turquoise and lapis pendant/pin.<br>Measurements and wieght in pics.<br><br>Tommy Jackson was born in Phoenix, Arizona on January20, 1958 but grew up in the<br>heart of Navajo land in Chinle, Arizona. He went to high school in Chinle, the<br>town at the mouth of the legendary Canyon de Chelly—a stronghold for 19th<br>century Navajo, known then as the “Lords of the Land”. Steeped in mythology,<br>this landscape echoes the strength and beauty in the Navajo bedrock of<br>beliefs—foremost of those is responsibility to family and clan. A husband,<br>father, and grandfather, Tommy is also a world-renowned gold and silversmith,<br>his award-winning pieces on exhibit in museums and treasured in collections<br>around the world. As a premier Navajo Silversmith he counted amongst those few<br>known as “The Supersmiths.”<br>Jackson started silversmithing in 1973, learning at the bench of his parents,<br>renowned silversmiths Gene and Martha Jackson. (He is also the nephew of Dan<br>Jackson, another well-known silversmith.) However, it was his mother who urged<br>him to pursue a degree, and he followed her footsteps into education, eventually<br>teaching elementary school at Wide Ruins on the Reservation. But jewelry-making<br>called to him in his spare time, in the after-hours, in the late night, and by<br>1988 he was winning prestigious awards, and has continued winning nearly every<br>year since at the big shows, including Santa Fe Indian Market and the Heard. He<br>was also chosen as Navajo Tribal representative for the Salt Lake City Winter<br>Olympics.<br>A striking example of Tommy’s pieces is the motif of Navajo rug designs. He<br>sometimes works these patterns directly into the gold or silver; or he inlays<br>stones in visually stunning creations that reflect the complexity of Navajo<br>tapestries. Other pieces are a declaration of his passion for high-grade<br>American turquoise. These pieces are all about the great stone. He will use<br>heavy-gauge silver, and in keeping with the old style tradition then chisel or<br>hand-stamp, all with an eye of showcasing a great old American turquoise stone<br>such as Bisbee, Morenci, Lander Blue or Candelaria. He is known for integrating<br>traditional Navajo designs with a modern flair, working with gold and silver and<br>a variety of precious and semi-precious stones.<br>He has won numerous awards for his beautiful and unique jewelry from the Heard<br>Museum Show in Phoenix, Santa Fe Indian Market and The Museum of Northern<br>Arizona, to name a few including First at Indian Market, as recently as 2014. He<br>and his wife, Marie, who does much of the stone-cutting for his pieces, have<br>pieces featured in national publications.

A Native American jewelry piece referred to as "silver" or "ingot" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn't an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I've seen thousands of pieces xrf'd to prove this. Bracelets are photographed on a 6" women's wrist.
