Bubba Shackelford, an Anglo artist based in Prescott, Arizona, spent more than 30 years creating old Southwestern-style jewelry. He learned the basics of jewelry-making from his longtime friend and fellow Anglo artist Jock Favour, then developed his skills further at a local college. His silversmithing remained dedicated to traditional techniques and old-style designs from before the 1940s. Many younger jewelers, including Jesse Robbins, studied under Bubba and went on to work as artists. His pieces bear the FTC hallmark, standing for Falcon Trading Company, a name inspired by a Ford Falcon he once owned.
