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.
