This high quality jewelry came from a private collection of over 300 pieces. The former owner collected these from the 1950's to the 1990's and wore them regularly.

Tommy (1940-2014) was born into the Tall House Clan in Dilkon, Arizona. He was taught by his father and became an award winning and innovative silversmith. As he progressed, his jewelry just got better! His work is highly collectible and he's referenced in Wright's "Hallmark's of the Southwest", Schaaf's "American Indian Jewelry I and III" & Hougart's "Native American and Southwestern Silver Hallmarks" to name a few.
