Navajo Silversmith - Gary Reeves

We were sorry to hear about the recent death of Navajo silversmith, Gary Reeves. Gary was born in 1962 in Gallup, N.M. He learned silver work in 1974. He was the brother to David Reeves and half brother to Sunshine Reeves. While each artist has his own individual style, they all share an affinity for complex engraved and hand stamped geometric designs and they are all a part of recreating and popularizing the old Navajo designs of the early 20th century. They call their style Navajo Revival Style. Gary filled his old style silver with lots of stamp patterns and used high quality pieces of turquoise. He had won many awards for his exceptional jewelry.
