Estate Native American Morenci Turquoise Sterling Silver Bracelet

In the early 1970s, Orville Tsinnie, a distinguished Navajo artist, embarked on a journey of artistic discovery under the tutelage of his Hopi brother-in-law. This marked the genesis of a career that would see him garner numerous accolades, including the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from the Indian Arts and Crafts Association. This honor is reserved exclusively for the crème de la crème of American Indian artists, underscoring Tsinnie's exceptional talent.

Tsinnie's work was a testament to his superior craftsmanship. While he was adept at creating traditional jewelry, his true genius lay in his ability to conceive and execute innovative designs. His meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to precision were the hallmarks of his work, resulting in pieces that were unmistakably his own. Operating from his studio in Shiprock, New Mexico, Tsinnie was a stalwart presence at Santa Fe's annual Indian Market. His participation in this yearly event further cemented his status as a luminary in the realm of Navajo artistry. His legacy continues to inspire and influence the world of indigenous art.

Orville Tsinnie (1943-2017) signs his work with "Orville Tsinnie, New Mexico" along with two stamps of Shiprock.
