Sterling Silver Repousse And Heavy Stamp 7.5 Inch Cuff By Navajo Emerson Bill

February 2, 2022 by admin · Comments Off

Inner circumference: 6.5 inches. Overall size: 7.5 inches. Add this item to your’watch’ list. I sometimes make and consider reasonable offers from non-resellers. Known by loyal customers all over the globe for her taste, extensive knowledge, and authenticity. Her listings were authoritative and artful dissertations. Often, Native American artists will metalsmith either at-home or in-house for traders in Gallup. These are those pieces. She was one of a only a few dozen retail members of the Indian Arts and Crafts Association, dedicated to preserving the authenticity of Native goods as it is against federal law to misrepresent goods that are not. Un-ironically, after 30 years this organization disbanded the same year she passed away. Imported jewelry robs Indigenous communities of the ability to provide for their families. [So does criminally deflated wages but that is a soapbox for a different day]. It seemed like quite a leap when a prominent silversmith stated that the counterfeit jewelry is genocide. But after reflection and with firsthand knowledge, we at High Desert Turquoise vehemently agree that forgeries are indeed that harmful. In perfect series of unfortunate events, our family lost her item descriptions. So her niece Lauren has spent hundreds of hours over the past 3 years obsessively following, connecting with, and learning from long-time collectors, gallery owners, other traders and resellers, Native smiths, and stonecutters who have been incredibly open-source with their knowledge. Although used by many civilizations for centuries all over the world, in the Navajo tradition, Turquoise is foremost a protection stone. Navajo is the word assigned by colonizers, they call themselves Diné. This item is in the category “Jewelry & Watches\Ethnic, Regional & Tribal\Bracelets & Charms”.
