Boyd Tsosie (Sept 2005)
In
1979, Boyd Tsosie was only 23. He was already among the top echelon
of Southwestern jewelers / silversmiths (both past and present). Boyd was
featured in
Arizona Highways along with other greats like Jesse Monongye, his brother
Richard
Tsosie, Gibson Nez, James Little, and Larry Golsch. These Navajo silversmiths
all
would go on to build a fine reputations and set the standards you see
today
for Southwest jewelry
Boyd
Tsosie studied with Kenneth Begay,
the father of modern
Navajo jewelry. Before Kenneth Begay, Navajo Indian Jewelry was much
like it had
been for the past 100 years. Navajo jewelry had a strong Spanish
influence. Which
is entirely understandable since it was a Mexican silversmith (who learned
from the Spanish) that taught the first Navajo to work silver.
Boyd considers Kenneth
Begay a major influence and carries on today the work of
Kenneth Begay. Boyd Tsosie continues to move Navajo jewelry forward and he, like
Kenneth Begay, generously shares his knowledge with other silversmiths.
Boyd,
working with his brother Richard,
first gained widespread
recognition for his soldered flower and
leaf
designs.
Later,
he moved his jewelry designs to a more complex,
contemporary look.
