Alvin/Lula Begay Navajo sterling silver turquoise/coral inlay ranger belt buckle

描述

Alvin/Lula Begay Navajo sterling silver turquoise/coral inlay ranger belt buckle set. Fits up to a .75" belt. Tested and guaranteed solid sterling silver with weight and measurements in pictures. Fully functional. All items will likely have some age appropriate/expected wear, the older they are the more wear they should have. Circa last quarter of the 20th century. This is in "New old Stock" condition, likely 20-30 years old but has never been on a belt.
In 1956, Alvin and Lula Begay were both born into artistic families in Winslow, Arizona. They have worked as a silversmithing team since 1991, each serving their own role; Alvin works on the overall composition and construction of the piece, while Lula works on the setting/cutting of the stones as well as the polishing and final touches. The dynamic pair is known to not use any pre-made findings, everything outside of earring posts are handcrafted. Alvin is especially known for using his techniques of double and triple overlay, reversible necklaces, shadowboxes, and engraving--often all on the same piece! While still very adept in the art of jewelry-making, Alvins first love is bareback riding in rodeos. He grew up in a traditional Navajo life style on the reservation and is a natural athlete and cowboy. He has competed for 10 years, winning championships in 1987 and 1989. Although Alvin is a very humble and unassuming individual, he is one on AIRCAs top award winners. Awards in jewelry-making are also no stranger to Alvin; among several awards, he has won first with a necklace in a competition in Dallas, Texas.
