Jimmy Poyer

Jimmy Poyer is a Navajo artist who worked as an apprentice to renowned jeweler Jimmie Harrison. While his jewelry is sold across the country in fine galleries and museum shops and demand for his work is high, he has resisted the temptation to set up a show with other people producing his work or cast the silver and gold for his designs. Every piece is built by hand from sheet silver, wire and natural stones. He makes patterns by mixing turquoise with shells, malachite, jet, coral and other semi-precious stones.
