Danny Romero Yaqui (1954-2018) 14k Gold Diamond, Tanzanite, Opal, sugilite, coral, boulder opal, and lapis necklace. Measurements in pics, accompanied with 2013 receipt. Still in like new condition with no damage or detectable wear. Please keep in mind that in 2013 gold averaged 1/2 the price it currently is so did the other top grade materials used to make this, not to mention a deceased artists talent and time. Also It seems this dealer sells secondary market items, so I believe this 7k was a used price in 2013 as it's really not a lot of money for this necklace now and wasn't then.  18.5" long Danny Romero 1954-2018 Danny Romero is of both Yaqui and Spanish heritage. He creates jewelry and paintings from his home in New Mexico. Growing up in Douglas, Arizona, he has been working with stone and silver for over 20 years. "I like E.S. Curtis photographs," he says, referring to the famous turn-of-the-century photographer and ethnographer who documented more than 80 Native American tribes. "I go through magazines. I've done drawings and I paint". He was one of five silversmiths invited to the Night of the First Americans at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., and he has had showings of his jewelry in galleries and museums in many parts of the country as well as in Germany, Japan, and Canada. Danny Romero is no longer producing jewelry. The jewelry we have was made by Danny Romero circa 2005. Danny received wide acclaim in the 1970's-80's for both his traditional turquoise jewelry as well as his inlay jewelry. Danny Romero was the first silversmith to literally put painted art into jewelry.

Super clean with no detectable damage or wear inside or out. I don't believe it has ever been worn. Hallmarked by artist twice in interior, hallmarked 14k 3 times in interior.  This bracelet it composed of 14k gold, Gem Silica, Natural Australian Opal, Carnelian, Chalcedony, and Lapis Lazuli.   Duane Maktima was studying education at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, when a dean suggested he switch his major to art. “ I thought it would be a hobby.” Growing up in tiny towns in Arizona under the tutelage of his Hopi and Laguna relatives, Maktima learned how to carve and paint, but these artworks were referred to as “blessings” and not art. The Dean, having seen Duane’s work was insistent. When Maktima first laid eyes on the jewelry in the jewelry lab, he says, “It was like my whole life flashed before my eyes, I was hooked.” It took a decade for Maktima to complete his degree. He left college to work as a resident artist at the nearby Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff. At only 19 years old he was given a studio and stipend to make jewelry which was snapped up by visitors from around the world.  Eventually he embarked on a personal retreat from the pressure and spent 3 years at Laguna Pueblo. Maktima worked there as a survey helper and everyday he walked the country from Second Mesa to Black Mesa.  During these long walks he came to deeply appreciate his heritage and decided to complete his education. When he did return to university, it was an exciting time for Native American artists. His research into African and Indian art led him create spiritual based  pieces from beads, shell work mosaics, motifs from Hopi pottery, hollow silver tubes, gold , lapis, turquoise , and red coral. In 1982, Maktima,  received a second-ever fellowship from the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts. He moved to Sante Fe a year later. An active community leader,  he has influenced many young people to pursue a career in art.  His brooches, buckles, and other exquisite jewelry have been featured in some of the best Native American galleries. In 1990, Northern Arizona University honored the artist with its 2000 Distinguished Alumni Artist Award, Distinguished Achievement Award, and member of the President’s Circle.

Preston Monongye（霍皮人）（1927-1987）Tufa 鑄造玫瑰金槽鑲嵌手鍊。適合最大 6 3/8" 的手腕，寬度從 20 毫米逐漸變細到 30 毫米。獨一無二的手鍊，極其罕見的金質手鍊。Preston Monongye 並未加工大量黃金，市場上很少有作品，當他們這樣做時，它們非常昂貴。我個人在一台價值30,000 美元以上的XRF 機器上測試了這台機器，它的黃金含量為40-43%（平均約10k），這實際上非常有意義。因為P Monongye 並沒有與很多人一起工作黃金，他所做的時間可能有些實驗性。在這種情況下，很明顯他熔化了一些廢金，可能是客戶或朋友帶給他的一些廢金，以製作這可能是一件訂製作品。我們拍攝的最低含金量照片顯示，銅含量為48.13%，金含量為40.08%，銀含量為8.18%，鋅含量為3.49%，鎳含量為0.12%。Preston Monongye（1927-1987 年）是該理論的一位有影響力的支持者。他稱之為「新印度藝術」。他寫道：「我們可能會使用舊技術，以及從陶片或像形文字中提取的舊設計，但隨後我們會重新設計它們或添加我們自己的創新。」Preston 擁有一條非傳統且晚熟的珠寶製作之路。參加過兩次戰爭，在執法部門工作，並曾是印第安事務局的僱員。後來，他決定全身心投入珠寶製作，並獲得了無數獎項。他一直在嘗試珠寶和珠寶Preston主要為他的作品進行金屬加工和設計，讓他的朋友和著名寶石藝術家Lee Yazzie 進行鑲嵌，後來又讓他的兒子Jesse Monongye 進行寶石加工。他的作品在全國範圍內展出。Monongye 出生於加州洛杉磯東部，父母是墨西哥人和印第安人，Monongye 七歲時被霍皮人家庭收養。他從小就是霍皮人，講霍皮語並參與其中在卡齊納協會。九歲時，莫農耶開始跟隨他的叔叔、銀匠大師兼畫家吉恩·普亞馬 (Gene Pooyama) 做學徒。 「他教我如何以『霍皮人的方式』生活，」Monongye 回憶道。在他的整個職業生涯中，霍​​皮族的色彩和圖像在Monongye 的作品中佔據著重要地位。但Monongye 堅信本土珠寶不應受過去的束縛，他解釋說：“我父親和其他人傳授給我的古老哲學霍皮梅薩斯人的理念是，「如果你能在不傷害傳統或宗教的情況下進步，你就應該這樣做。」1927 年出生於洛杉磯，七歲時被遺棄在霍皮族，被一個著名的霍皮族家庭收養。莫農耶就讀於保留地學校，並成為霍皮族宗教和社會生活的全面參與者。 在第二次世界大戰中擔任傘兵後，Monongye 成為一名克奇納畫家，偶爾為貿易商 Roman Hubbell 和 Fred Harvey Company 工作。莫農耶在韓戰期間重新入伍，後來在印地安事務局從事執法工作，同時繼續繪畫和製作銀飾。 Monongye 在20 世紀60 年代初辭去工作，轉而從事珠寶製作後，很快就被公認為創新設計師和技術人員，他沉浸在“新印度藝術”中，利用傳統技術和圖案創造當代風格新造型。他最出名的是鑲有寶石的鑄銀，這些寶石經常由他的朋友 Lee Yazzie 切割，後來又由他的兒子 Jesse 切割。莫農耶在各學校和工作室教授他的藝術，並廣泛教授當代本土設計。他在展覽和比賽中贏得了許多獎項，他的珠寶被博物館收藏，例如弗拉格斯塔夫的北亞利桑那博物館和聖達菲的惠爾賴特博物館。

Some of the<br>inner mechanisms will be another metal as they are durable than gold. I have<br>disassembled different models of these from the same era before and they are<br>typically 50-75% gold with a small amount of steel or brass items for the<br>mechanism.

He apprenticed with<br>Thomas C. Garrett 1857, took over his business at some point after 1860 as Clark<br>& Biddle. That became Robbins, Clark & Biddle (at least by 1876; they're in the<br>catalog for the Centennial exhibition) and then in 1878 the Bailey, Banks &<br>Biddle we know today. I've seen items by other makers (including Krider)<br>retailed by Clark & Biddle, but it seems likely they also made some items, at<br>least early on.
