Native American, Navajo,<br>Southwestern Indian Jewelry.Leon MartinezNavajo artist Leon Martinez says he was<br>influenced by his parents, Leo and Edith Martinez, to become a jewelry artist as<br>early as 1970. “At the age of nine, I was assisting my parents with buffering,<br>solder, and setting stones,” recalls Leon. He also helped his parents make<br>squash blossom necklaces, rings, and bracelets during the high demand for Indian<br>Jewelry in the 1970s. Making jewelry soon became a passion for Leon and his<br>talent grew enormously. “I was a self starter artist using nature from plants,<br>flowers, rocks, and landscapes for designs and structures. I use everything<br>that’s in my environment, even clouds. Everything God has made. The designs are<br>used for bracelets, rings, conchos, bolos, and earrings. I do my art work for<br>competition, and the jewelry gives me unlimited joy,” says Leon.In addition to<br>his parents, Leon considers many people and artists his teachers and influences,<br>including Calvin Martinez, Kirk Smith, Sunshine Daniel Reeves, Ernest Begay,<br>Tommy Jackson, and Tommy Singer.Leon’s jewelry is described as early 1900s old<br>style mixed with contemporary style. “In making designs, even making one piece<br>has made me to become patient, putting quality time into the smallest item. This<br>helps me to perfect my work - soldering, setting stones by size, measurement for<br>perfect fitting, and selection of stones for each piece of work. I try to make<br>each piece of jewelry close to its perfection,” says Leon.Leon has won several<br>first place awards at the Navajo Nation Fair and Gallup Intertribal Ceremonial,<br>known as the largest fair and annual event.

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.

Navajo Ray Tracey Knifewing Modernistic Inlaid Earrings 1.25" wide square. Light scratches, no deep scratches, bends, or damage to stones. The Creative Process Fueled by Inspiration “God blesses everyone with a variety of gifts and talents.” The Creator blessed Ray with the spirit of Creativity. Inspiration is the basis for his creative spirit. Inspiration arrives in many forms and disguises when least expected. Hiking the canyons of the Southwest, where his ancestors did the same, gives Ray a feeling of reverence. Walking in peace with gratitude and thanksgiving opens up the senses to receive ideas. Petroglyphs carved on canyon walls turns into wearable art. Stories from an ancient past are re-lived on the faces of Yei pendants. The evening sky’s transformation of color inspired the Earth and Sky jewelry line. Once while golfing, a white butterfly landed on Ray’s golf bag and accompanied him down the fairway. This incident brought the Butterfly and Dragonfly design concept to reality. Having awareness of this special gift, he aspires to know the origin. Artist Ray Tracey has had a life-long love of jewelry. As a child growing up in Sawmill, AZ, Asa Tracey, his Grandfather, influenced him with his stories of working the goat bellows for his uncle. Asa would pump the goat bellows all day long to fuel the fire in the forge that would melt silver in a small cast iron crucible. This process was very labor intensive and his grandfather hated it. The molten silver would then be poured into a tufa stone mold to form an ingot. The jeweler would then execute his craft and a new piece of jewelry would be created. “I wanted to see finished jewelry and wanted to learn everything I could. Whenever we would go to Gallup, NM, I would visit curio stores to see creations in silver.” Ray spent time viewing jewelry designs at the Gallup Intertribal Indian Ceremonial and at the Navajo Nation Fair. Anywhere, there was jewelry on display; Ray could be seen viewing the works of art. Ray’s family moved to Ganado, AZ when he was six years old. One summer day when he was nine years old, he complained to his mother of how bored he was. The next day his mother enrolled him into summer school and changed his life forever. He went straight to art class and found a silver smithing table in the corner. He remembered his grandfather’s stories and the rest is history.  “In class I fabricated my first ring out of silver for my Mother. I found an unknown stone and made a cabochon. I tried to copy an old style ring design that I had seen at Hubbells Trading Post. One teardrop flanked the sides of the stone. It was a very simple design but it took me a week to finish. I kept melting the silver. I made my next silver and stone creation at the age of 21 and gave it to my mother. It was another ring, but this time it was a split shank with three ribs and three tear drops on the side of the stone.” I told my father, I want to make jewelry for the rest of my life.” Ray continued making jewelry while attending Brigham Young University. Studying chemistry and physics by day and making jewelry at night. “The designs were simple, my first love was Old Style Navajo jewelry. Weekends were spent traveling to Gallup, NM, to sell his work. While at BYU another opportunity arose to express his creativity—acting. “I wasn’t a very good student so Hollywood had an instant appeal. My gift of creativity carried over into acting. Acting was just another outlet of creative expression.” His adventurous nature allowed Ray to spend several years as an actor in feature films and television. This acting detour never made him lose interest in jewelry design. Eventually, Ray’s love of jewelry brought him back to New Mexico to permanently pursue this art form. “One time while traveling to Albuquerque from Gallup, I noticed the horizon over Laa Pueblo. I saw steps on a mesa. I incorporated this imagery of tiered steps into a bracelet design.” “Another time, while golfing at Hobble Creek Golf Course, I saw pebbles aligned in a  row on the river bottom. Those pebbles became my inspiration to place them on the sides of an inlaid bracelet.” “Sometimes my creativity comes to a screeching halt. When this happens I go to my roots; Old Style jewelry. That is the place of fascination. The Old Ones utilized rudimentary tools to create their simple, yet perfected, pieces of craftsmanship. From this point I am able to create from an inspiring idea. On the flip side, sometimes my mind becomes flooded with more designs than I can remember. Ideas come so quickly I can’t draw them fast enough.” “When I see someone wearing one of my designs, it takes me back to the time when the piece was created. Sometimes I can recall what I was eating or even the music I was listening to. I will remember the inspiration that helped create that design.” Ray has found his path or gift of self-expression that has blessed, enlightened, and influenced his life and others. Awareness of this special gift, fuels his energy and creativity. Inspiration helps to translate his creativity into artistic-visual expression. His creations stand as transitional figures from traditional to contemporary.  He creates something good as he is drawn toward untouched fields of yet-to-be-discovered imagery. Unknowingly he is creating a legacy from which generations can learn and grow. Ray has learned to appreciate and embrace the journey of life and its gifts.
