Details

STAMP WORK Navajo silversmiths are renowned for their intricate, detailed stamp work, a style developed over many generations. Stamping is done by hand, and the stamps themselves are oftentimes unique to the artist or are handed down from generations of silversmiths.

TWISTED WIRE metalworking is a very old technique used by many Southwestern tribes. It can be found in both vintage and modern pieces.

CHINESE TURQUOISE ranges in color from vibrant sky blue to a deep blue-green. Ma'ashan and Hubei areas have been prolific providers of stone with beautiful color and matrix. Due to the rarity of North American Turquoise, Chinese turquoise accounts for the majority of turquoise on the market today.
