Preview of New Jewelry Pieces

January 21st, 2012

I am working on my new line of jewelry for 2012.  I am working on contemporary looking jewelry pieces that have their origins in the rich legacy of Navajo silver.  My last piece of jewelry for 2011 is the Corn Dancer (on left hand side of this post).  Her name is Mary.  Mary is still available for purchase. 

My new line of jewelry is modern, simple and very wearable.  Please stay tuned for my new line of jewelry. 

I am also recycling my previous handmade jewelry. I am removing these pieces from my site as I am recycling them.   

Please contact me if you have any questions.  Thank you for keeping up with my posts.

Corn Dancer Pendants

July 24th, 2011

The summer is coming to a close.  It’s almost time for harvesting crops for the upcoming winter.  Navajo and Pueblo farmers will soon begin harvesting their crops in their fields across the reservations. It will soon be time to honor our Corn Mother and enjoy the bountiful harvest of Indian corn (not sweet corn) prepared in a variety of ways.

I created 3 female Corn Dancer pendants set with natural turquoise stones.  Each of these abstract figures is a woman wearing a traditional Pueblo woman’s headress called a tabilta (the stepped silver part of the figure).  I hope you consider purchasing one of my handmade pieces to add to your jewelry collection.

Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.  Thank you and enjoy!

My Fred Harvey Interpretation

April 20th, 2011

I’ve been interested in pawn jewelry and Fred Harvey pieces for quite some time now. I love the designs, stones, and overall layout of these vintage, timeless pieces.  Naturally, I have been doing my interpretations of these old pieces.  I first started with the Fred Harvey thunderbird pawn style bracelets (I have 2 available for sale), a simpler handstamped style and here’s my latest one.

This latest piece I started over a year ago and re-discovered it on my workbench over the weekend.  I was finally ready to finish it.  I set it with a piece of gorgeous natural medium grade Kingman turquoise.  The turquoise piece still has features and characteristics that show it’s former rough rock form.  Now it’s shaped and polished to be admired by a new owner. 

I hope you consider purchasing this one-of-kind treasure.  Please contact me if you have any questions.  Thank you and enjoy!

Navajo Classic, Vintage Style Earrings

April 4th, 2011

I am still exploring the genre of classic, vintage style of Navajo earrings.  Here are some pieces that are similar in style, but have different stones.  These earrings are inspired by the book titled, Navajo & Pueblo Earrings.  My jewelry is inspired by the vintage style of being “aged”–oxidized and brushed finished.  The following earrings are well constructed and I added little details to make these earrings unique handmade treasures!

I hope you consider purchasing the following pieces.  Please contact me if you have questions or comments.  I do all my online transactions via PayPal.  Thank you and enjoy!

Henry Morgan Concho Belt

March 29th, 2010

I am selling two of my treasured pieces from my personal collection due to the current economic situation.  I purchased these pieces with the idea of keeping them, but I decided to part with these pieces and share the enjoyment of these pieces.  Harry Morgan was an award-winning silversmith as is his brother Henry Morgan. I sold the Harry Morgan canteen I had for sale.   These are made with excellent craftsmanship and finished in the classical, vintage style. 

Please contact me if you are seriously interested in collecting these pieces.

First Phase Concho Belt by Henry Morgan  

Handstamped Navajo First Phase Concho belt.  I purchased this from another collector in Albuquerque, NM.  I had this belt “re-finished” to give it a presentable gallery look.  It’s highly polished with the conchos put on a new black leather strap.  There are 9 conchos and 1 buckle.  Each is 2.75″ in diameter made in a heavy gauge silver. 

Price: $1,100 plus $25 insurance & shipping in U.S.
