"When silver is all shined up it hides all of the intricate<br>detail in the stamp work and the bezels. This older style is what I grew up with<br>and what I love."<br><br>Although it was his mother who inspired him to create this style of jewelry that<br>had that old Navajo look,it was Harry however who was the 1st to bring this<br>style to the forefront of the industry..Paving the way for others like his<br>brother-in-law Kirk Smith who then followed in Harry's footsteps & with Kirk's<br>connection with other artists,they then followed in Kirk's footsteps. Now this<br>is the dominant style amongst most Navajo artists & you see this old pawn style<br>darkened finishing everywhere..Kirks name will always be associated with Harry's<br>& vise versa.<br><br>if you've ever wondered why most Navajo pieces have that old style look &<br>finishing where many of you can't tell if the piece is new or old anymore,it was<br>this man who we can give the credit to for bringing a style of jewelry that we<br>now see everywhere. He lived to see his jewelry being exhibited at the Heard<br>Museum a year before his death..<br><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.

Large Alvin Monte Navajo 14k/Sterling turquoise, multi-stone reversible pendant
Large Alvin Monte Navajo 14k/Sterling turquoise, multi-stone reversible pendant.<br><br>Navajo jewelry artist Alvin Monte works in both gold and silver, often making his own stamping tools to create one-of-a-kind designs. Born in Socorro, Monte grew up in Canoncito, New Mexico. Both his parents were well-known silversmiths but Monte didn’t pick up the trade until he moved away from home. He is a self-taught silversmith. His inspirations often come from petroglyphs or pueblo designs although the execution of his designs is more symbolic than realistic. The result is a more modern verses traditional design that he likes to embellish with various stones including amethysts and garnets for a lustrous effect.<br><br>Monte is now teaching his young son, who at age nine shows a talent for silver-smithing, thus elevating another generation of the Montes into the artist world.<br><br> Marked or unmarked as shown in pics, weight and other measurements in pics.

6.5" Bruce Morgan Navajo 14K & Sterling Silver Heavy Cuff Bracelet
Bruce Morgan Navajo 14K & Sterling Silver Heavy Cuff Bracelet 6.5" inside<br>diameter including the 1.5" gap 13/16" wide at widest point near gap. 106.3<br>grams, really solid with very thick layer of 14k gold. Most of the Bruce Morgan<br>cuffs you will find online in this price range weigh about half as much or less.Bruce Morgan (b. 1957) is an award-winning Navajo silversmith. He is well known<br>for his use of both silver and gold in his pieces and his iconic gold overlay.<br>Born in Rehoboth, New Mexico and raised in Brimhall, Morgan made his first piece<br>of jewelry while in high school. His aunt made jewelry and was sadly killed in<br>an accident. His grandmother gave Morgan her tools in hopes that he would make<br>use of them, which he gladly did.<br><br>After graduating in 1976, he moved to Phoenix, Arizona and began making jewelry<br>for others in 1978; however, it was a slow start for Morgan and in order to<br>support himself financially, he took a job as a miner in the Uranium Mine and<br>began training to become an electrician. After a year of training, he got laid<br>off and continued on to school for commercial electrician and planned on<br>becoming an electrical engineer. After realizing that it was too much physical<br>work, he went back to jewelry making and found a way to stand out from the rest.<br><br>Morgan started out with traditional style jewelry making conchas and turquoise,<br>but in 1983 he was one of the first artists to use the two tone method of silver<br>and gold. In 1982, he made a silver cane for the Prime Minister in Egypt and in<br>1983 began using “traditional and simple” stampwork and creating his signature<br>gold overlay. Although he admires the traditional pieces, he has said he will<br>continue to only make his gold overlay jewelry, because it is quicker to make<br>and allows people to have a one of a kind piece that can be worn daily or for a<br>special occasion. His rings are often used as wedding bands for that very<br>reason.<br><br>Morgan’s exceptionally clean lines and renowned gold overlay has brought<br>attention to his work in not only the US, but worldwide. He has been featured in<br>“Arizona Highways” and “Southwest Art” magazines and continues to create<br>beautiful pieces of jewelry to this day.

6" Gibson Nez Jicarilla Apache and Navajo, Multi-stone inlay cuff bracelet
Gibson Nez (1947-2007) Jicarilla Apache and Navajo, Multi-stone inlay cuff bracelet. 6 1/16" including the 1 1/16" gap. No damage, very clean with hardly any wear whatsoever. Tapers from 9/16" to 7/8" 89.4 grams. Gibson Nez, Jicarilla Apache and Navajo, is known throughout the Indian arts industry and by collectors worldwide as the master of stampwork. No other craftsman comes close to the expert precision of his sharp, clean, impossibly close stamps. Parallel lines, a hairs-breadth apart, encircle bolos and bracelets like radiant energy, drawing your eye to the extraordinary, gem-grade stone Gibson hand-picks to feature in the center. Stampwork of Gibson’s caliber requires extreme patience and an eye for balance. “What is important to me is to make one nice piece, not a lot of mediocre pieces,” said Gibson. Gibson’s pieces have won ribbons and awards at all the major competitions, including Gallup Ceremonial, Santa Fe Indian Market, the Heard Museum, the All Mankind Jewelry Competition in Washington, D.C., and Casa Grande in Arizona. Asked what makes him most proud in his work, Gibson said, “I simply try to make a piece that highlights the stone.” Gibson’s work embodies unrelenting attention to detail. Each hand-struck stamp adds and builds on the last. Single, meticulously placed lines are, together, the power to Gibson’s work - a complete harmony of silver and stone. Gibson sadly passed away on December 1, 2007, but his work will be cherished for years to come. Long after those who knew him are gone he will still be remembered through his powerful jewelry.
