Native American jeweler has the ability to bridge the gap between
art and ornamentation. An elaborate palette of colors shows through
in the masterful skills of the inlay artist, while striking detail
and contrast is illustrated in the overlay technique of the best
Hopi silversmiths. Precious metals and other fine materials have
found their way into the Native artists resources, including
platinum, gold, diamonds and pearls - as well as classic turquoise,
gem grade coral, and other semi-precious stones. Many of these
creations are one-of-a-kind originals - a true work of wearable
art! |
