Item Description
Navajo sterling silver and turqoise necklace and earring set
Bennie Ration was born in 1955, on the Canoncito Navajo Reservation in New Mexico. His father, who had been a silversmith since childhood taught Bennie the art of silversmithing at the young age of eleven. Throughout his childhood, Bennie was a talented artist. In 1978, with a look and style that he had developed as a graphic designer, he began making three-dimensional figures in silver. His many wearable art designs include Kachina figures, Southwestern animals, feathers and Navajo inspired geometric patterns. When asked how he comes up with his designs he says, “I remember what I see and make pieces in my mind”.
