Jim Harrison Navajo Micro inlay sterling pendant
Jim Harrison (Navajo) creates complex designs by using some of the finest inlay in his work. He was influenced and mentored by the famous master jewelers Preston and Jesse Monongye. Jim has won numerous awards and has been featured in many magazines including American Indian Art, Cosmopolitan and Sunset. You can see Jim’s work in Jerry Jacka’s book Enduring Traditions: Art of the Navajo and Lois Dubin’s book North American Indian Jewelry and Adornment.
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.
