Sterling Silver Pictorial Bracelet by Tommy Jackson [SOLD]

This silver bracelet features pictorial designs. There are three heartline bears as the main attraction, rain clouds falling from the top of the band, and mountains rising from the lower band. The ends of the band are polished silver devoid of decorations. The background silver behind the polished bear elements is speckled like sand.

This bracelet is stamped JACKSON on the inner band. The owner purchased the bracelet from Shush Yaz Trading Post, a former merchant in Santa Fe, and was told that it was made by Tommy Jackson, a jeweler active since the early 1970s. Jackson was born in 1958 and lives with his wife in Ganado, Arizona. He is a schoolteacher as a profession, and jewelry designer as time permits.

Jackson's awards at Santa Fe Indian Market and Gallup Inter-tribal Indian Ceremonial are too numerous to mention. His works have been published in several publications.
