treasures from my weekend Native art shopping trips

June 22nd, 2010

I decided to share with my audience some of the treasures I’ve found and purchased from my weekend Native art shopping trips.  I am offering these items for you to add to your collections or perhaps you are beginning to collect. 

I am offering two silver bracelets that are imitations of handmade Navajo silver bracelet cuffs.  I purchased these pieces because of the fact they are high quality imitations.  I know of some collectors who collect authentic Native jewelry, but also some high quality imitation Native jewelry.  I am in no way misrepresenting handmade Native jewelry.  I buy what I like.  I am also offering a turquoise choker with a single spiny oyster shell “corn bead”.  The turquoise beads are likely Santo Domingo Pueblo handmade and stabilized (not natural).  The most unexpected piece I found is an authentic vintage Navajo silver and turquoise hairpin.  Contemporary Native hair accessories are not like their vintage counterparts.  I prefer vintage handmade Navajo hair ornaments over the contemporary ones. 

Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.  Enjoy!

Turquoise choker  

It’s likely this is a handmade turquoise choker. Turquoise is likely stabilized and not natural. I bought this choker because it’s charming and looks vintage. L=15″ 

Price: $40 plus $7 shipping in the U.S.
 Imitation Native bracelet #1  

This bracelet is likely “machined” rather than handmade.  It has “Sanford” stamped on the inside of the bracelet. I light polished it and it’s “white” like sterling silver.  Silver. Size   5.25″.

Price: $40 plus $7 shipping in the U.S.

 Imitation Native Turquoise Bracelet #2  

This bracelet is also “machined”.  The turquoise is like imitation and not natural.  It has “STERLING” stamped on the inside of this bracelet.  The bezel cups that house the turquoise pieces are quite nice.  Nice to add to any collection. Size:  5.25″.

Price: $55 plus $7 shipping in the U.S.

 Vintage Navajo Hairpin  

This elegant, refined vintage Navajo hairpin has hand-cut turquoise.  I’m not certain if the turquoise is natural or stabilized, but it has facets that show it’s handmade.  Nice hairpin to add to any collection.

Price: $35 plus $7 shipping in the U.S.

my first’s……..

May 26th, 2010

I like to try different styles of jewelry in terms of shapes, embellishments and forms. I present to you 2 pieces that are experimental at a bargain price of $250 each plus $8 shipping.

I am a known artist both for weaving and jewelry-making in the Native art world.  Keep in mind that the “first” of a series or a new form will always be worth more in the long term if buyers want to re-sell my pieces in galleries or even donating these pieces to a museum.  Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.  Enjoy!

 Navajo Yei Pendant #1  

This piece is inspired by my Corn Maiden and Changing Woman series.  This is a series I am dedicating to all the medicine bundles and ceremonial paraphenalia out there in the world that are not in Navajoland.  Hand-fabricated set with natural red branch coral and a piece of natural Nevada’s Royston turquoise.  The contrast between the red coral and green Royston turquoise is quite striking!  Chain is not included.  Sterling silver.

Price $250 plus $8 shipping in the U.S.
 Experimental Pin #1  

I was inspired by the brooches and pins from the 1920s and 1930s where they were “overdone”.  I handmade this piece with minimal stamping and set it with natural Emerald Valley turquoise.  I embellished this piece with handmade silver cones.  I made 7 cones and only these 3 survived.  This piece required about 3 different rounds of soldering to hand-fabricate the pieces and then put all the pieces together into one pin.  This is a bargin!!  W=2″, H=1″. The cones are 5/8″ long. Sterling silver.

Price: $250 plus $8 shipping in the U.S.
