Mary Tom, a Navajo silversmith who is profiled in "Silver + Stone," created this beautiful, contemporary plain silver necklace.   It is the second she has made in this style; the first was acquired by the Arizona State Museum for ther permanent collection a few months back.   With matching earrings,   $1500. (SOLD)

This is a very exceptional piece of jewelry on several counts.   First, it is by Robert Sorrell, who is, in my opinion, one of the finest jewelry artists working today.   Secondly, it is set with one of the finest and largest pieces of spiderweb turquoise (from the Gold Canyon Mine) I have seen, and then there is the design itself: The cut of the stone clearly suggests a bear and that is what drives the design.   A beautiful coral at top is inspired by the offerings often attached to the top of a bear fetish.   On reverse are four shell beads representing the four mountains (which are the natural home to bears) that mark the boundaries of traditional Dinetah, or Navajoland. In addition is the constellation Ursa Major, Big Bear.   A wonderful piece that will fit a medium lady’s size wrist, $3200.

Victor Masayesva created this necklace which he entitled (Water) “Serpent’s Moon.”   It is sterling with 14 kt gold accent and a turquoise from the Pilot Mountain Mine in Nevada and a handmade chain.   $525.The earrings are sterling silver with 14k kt gold accent. $225. (SOLD)

The joyous pendant at left by Victor Masayesva is entitled “Celebrating Home”.   It is part of series where Victor and his staff at Red Feather Housing celebrate the completion of another straw bale house on the Hopi Reservation.   Handmade chain.   $200. (SOLD)
