Boyd Tsosie

Boyd Tsosie (Sept 2005)
In 1979,
Boyd Tsosie was 23. His jewelry was already being published alongside top
silversmiths
like Charles Loloma, Preston Monongye, Jesse Monongye... to name a few.
Boyd's traditional flower and leaf designs are what first first brought him
critical acclaim.
Later his jewelry designs became contemporary. Boyd's arsenal of silversmith and
lapidary skills
along with his sense of design create some of the most beautiful jewelry being made
today.

Boyd Tsosie Tufa Cast Silver and Turquoise Bracelet
Boyd's designs keep getting better and better. Not only has Boyd Tsosie a
wonderful
sense of design and an eye for color (which in my opinion rivals that of
great artists
like Mark Rothko... but Boyd has the technical expertise to perfectly
execute that which he imagines.
Notice that the bezel which holds the gemstones is part of the tufa casting...
not added on after the piece was cast. This requires considerably more thought
and work
but creates a cleaner and more beautiful piece.
How fortunate we are to be the beneficiary of this great talent. This is
investment
quality jewelry that will bring you so much pleasure... the only downside
I can think
of to thinking of it this way is that you will be quite reluctant to ever
part with it.
The gemstones Boyd inlaid are Red Coral, Salmon Coral, Morenci Turquoise,
Lone Mountain Turquoise,Red Mountain Turquoise, Orvil Jack Turquoise,
Tyrone Turquoise and Indian Mountain Turquoise.
It is 1 1/4" wide
It will fit a 6 1/4" to a 6 1/2" wrist
It is Not adjustable

Beautiful Heavy Tufa Cast Silver Turquoise Bracelet
old gem Burnham Turquoise
Lander Blue was discovered much later then Burnham Mine. There are subtle
differences
between the two and beautiful similarities. They both give the impression
of a starry
meteor shower... with each tiny fragment of blue so well defined against a dark
background.
Both
great Lander Blue and Burnham Turquoise are stones in which to
lose yourself... to meditate
Like Lander Blue, the Burnham mine has been closed for many years.. closed well
before
Lander Blue was even discovered. It's easy to understand why gem turquoise
from old Arizona
and Nevada mines like this is so highly prized. As a matter of fact, many
people simply
collect unset Southwest turquoise for the joy of the turquoise alone. But for
me,
these beautiful stones need to be in an equally beautiful setting of silver or
gold.
Notice too Boyd's fine file work in the Bezel... not to mention the tufa cast
bracelet itself.
Charles Loloma himself could not have made it any more beautiful or
technically perfect.
1 1/4" wide
For a 6 1/2" - 6 3/4" wrist
$1375
