“Buffalo”: heritage jewelry artist Buffalo, an Anglo silversmith, has made old Navajo-style jewelry for about 40 years and lives in Santa Fe. He learned traditional jewelry making from veteran Navajo silversmiths, and his jewelry, made mainly from ingot silver cast by tufa casting and finished one piece at a time by hand with stamps (chisels) he makes himself, truly recalls old Navajo jewelry. The stamps he makes himself produce designs reminiscent of Pueblo style of around the 1930s–40s, yet each piece is boldly struck with strong stampwork, and he stays true to the old style without compromise right through the finishing process. Buffalo jewelry beautifully expresses old Pueblo-style jewelry. Material: Ingot silver Dimensions: Inside circumference 15.5 cm; maximum width 1.1 cm; opening 2.9 cm; thickness 0.5 cm Artist: Buffalo (Anglo)
