Thomas is an award winning Navajo silversmith. He received Best in Class at
the
1987 Santa Fe Indian Market and was featured in the
May 2003 issue of Arizona Highways.
Thomas Curtis was the bench silversmith for Rocking
Horse Ranch in Flagstaff in 1985.
He
now uses
his own hallmark which is
T Curtis stamped in script and on a stamped step.
Thomas makes everything by hand including his die sets.
The hardened steel Die Sets are
used to stamp the silver
jewelry.
Thomas also
uses chisels to carve the silver.
Thomas Curtis's professional career began in
the early 1950's.
He fondly remembers as a
child
helping his grandfather make silver jewelry. Thomas Curtis'
silver designs span the
vintage years of the 1890's through the contemporary era that started in the 1940's.

beautiful contemporary Thomas Curtis buckle that is a match to this
