Darryl Dean Begay has carved a masterpiece out of tufa stone to create this fine bolo. Entitled "American Spirit" it has a double image. On the one hand when you view the piece you see a beautiful American flag. Looking closer you see the nose of a Yei with a gorgeous gem grade natural Bisbee turquoise as the eye. The American spirit is a Navajo deity imposed against the flag. The gem is classic deep Bisbee blue with smokey reddish-brown matrix. It is encased in a solid eighteen karat gold hand made bezel accentuating the rarity and quality of the stone. The bolo sits on a fine thick hand woven cord finished with tufa cast tips full of hands of man symbols and gem grade Bisbee cabochons at the ends. The finished bolo is an extraordinary creation by one of the most talented Native American jewelers of our time.

Navajo jeweler Harry H. Begay has created one of the finest bracelets of his career with this magnificent one of a kind piece. Deep Bisbee blue spiderweb from the Lavender pit is the rarest and most beautiful from this famed mine in southern Arizona. Three outstanding gems sit in the center of this piece matched to perfection. They are set in hand chiseled bezels encircled with hand twisted wire and droplets that taper up and down in size. The shank is made from labor intensive heavy hand rolled and hammered ingot sterling silver. Deep stamping is displayed next to finely chiseled stars and overlaid flairs on either side. The finished bracelet is a masterpiece, one of Harry's best and hence extraordinary and collectible.

A gorgeous and collectible red spiderweb Kingman turquoise was chosen for this fine ring. The natural gem is deep blue with electric red and chocolate complex spiderweb matrix. It is set in a high hand chiseled bezel signature to the work of Navajo jeweler Thomas Jim. Sterling silver droplets sit at each end of the ring face combined with elegant texture. Beautiful flares of silverwork are displayed above the deeply stamped scallops overlaid on either side of the shank. The band is also hand etched and filed. The finished product is dazzling on the finger, a statement from a true master craftsman.

Julian Lavato is one of the founders of modern Native American jewelry. He ranks with Mark Chee, Charles Loloma, Kenneth Begay and Preston Monongye as one of the finest jewelers of the 1960 and 1970's revival of hand made jewelry as fine art. To find any of his pieces available for sale is rare indeed as most are held in major collections. To find a magnificent necklace is an event in itself. This exceptional piece is made from a substantial heavy gauge and exhibits a gorgeous double pendant attached to an adjustable hand made link chain unique to the artist. Both the upper and lower pendant sections are set with exquisite deep blue gem grade natural Bisbee turquoise with classic vibrant reddish-brown and lavender matrix. Each of the largest specimens are encircled with Julian's signature sunburst design with lines that radiate out towards the smooth outer border. A unique clasp connects the upper and lower sections of the pendant. Five perfectly matched Bisbee turquoise gems fan from the bottom of the piece in perfect proportion to the large cabochon above. The finished necklace is a masterpiece of innovation and a world class collectible.

The finished product is gorgeous, highly collectible and one of a kind.

This marvelous bear design ring crerated by Navajo jeweler Kee Yazzie features a solid fourteen karat gold bear raised atop a heavily etched and oxidized background. The bear was a prominent symbol of strength and power to the ancients and is found at many petroglyph sites such as Chaco Canyon in New Mexico and Parowan Gap in Utah.

Tufa cast master Philander Begay has created this gorgeous bracelet by carving an elaborate design to mimic the walls of petroglyphs he admires near his home on the vast Navajo reservation. Antelopes, mountains, hands, migration swirls and weather patterns predominate. A rare gem grade natural Easter Blue turquoise sits a bit off set in a hand chiseled bezel. The gem is deep sky blue in the lowest layer with gorgeous golden brown host rock matrix. This is the signature look from the mine and is the perfect earthy look to finish the conception of a petroglyph wall transferred to a marvelous bracelet.

A gorgeous and exceptional rare gem grade natural Kingman spiderweb turquoise is selected by Navajo jeweler Thomas Jim to create this superlative bracelet. The cabochon is deep sky blue with electric reddish brown webbing and represents the finest quality from the mine. The gem is set in a distinctive high hand cut bezel signature to the jeweler. Thomas is famous for his layering approach to building a bracelet. He pounds out several reposse scallops and individually overlays them to create the distinctive look. Hand twisted wire, droplets, fan designs and stars all come together to create the eye-dazzling effect of the piece. The ends of the shank are narrowed, textured and stamped in a unique fashion.
