Dynamic Navajo Sterling Turquoise Chip Inlay Cuff Bracelet by Tommy Singer (1940-2014), inside measures 6.5'' which includes opening x 1 7/8''W, inlay turquoise in stairstep patterns, hallmarked, handstamped accents along both borders of piece, strikingly beautiful, Artist Bio: ''Navajo. Born in 1940 and is from Winslow, Arizona. He grew up in a small community of Dilcon on the Navajo Reservation. Tommy uses sterling silver and turquoise to create artistic expressions of Navajo traditional ways. Tommy states, ''I make jewelry out of silver. Every piece is made with the meanings from my traditional ways - the Navajo way of living. My father was a silversmith. He taught me and wanted me to continue this trade. It was my father's dream that I learn to silversmith so that I can continue his belief.'' In the 1960's, Tommy became famous for inventing the use of turquoise and coral chips in silverwork. This method of design is referred to as ''chip-inlay.'' This invention was so successful that many Navajo craftsmen copy the method and every Indian jewelry store carry some form of chip-inlay. Tommy's work is well known internationally. His work is featured in a number of Indian art publications. One can easily recognize Tommy's work. He signs his finished pieces with ''T. Singer'' or with a ''T and a crescent moon.'' Whether Tommy creates a bolo tie, buckle, ring or bracelet, he states that, ''All my jewelry are made to satisfy my customer. Each piece is unique and is made very different. I try hard to make different styles and designs of my jewelry.'' Today, he and his family also make traditional heavy stamp work and overlay jewelry. His overlay pieces incorporate the most traditional of Navajo design - designs that have endured for years and years. Many of these designs are of Navajo rugs and other traditional designs. Tommy is no longer with us; he passed on May 31, 2014.''
