Stunning hand stamped Sterling Silver and Leather Concho Bracelet handcrafted by renowned Silversmith Michael Montaño. Michael designed the patterns and created the steel stamps he used to make this and other bracelets. His work was featured in many fine galleries and boutiques, including Peyote Bird Designs and Sundance Catalog. Sadly, Michael passed away. His brother, Rick Montaño, inherited the stamps and is currently using them to create jewelry in his brother’s style. Bracelet length is 7-11/16 end to end. Wearable length is a bit shorter due to the button and loop closure. Signed Michael Montano, Sterling Silver.

Virgin Valley opal Nevada is famous for its beautiful, colorful opal. The state contains some very rich precious opal beds and has produced some spectacular and extremely valuable specimens. The Virgin Valley opal beds in northwest Humboldt County are perhaps the most famous gemstone locality in Nevada. High quality precious opal emitting a multihued rainbow of color is found replacing wood or other plant material in this remote location. The Virgin Valley Opal field is in an isolated desert area south of Highway 140 about 25 miles southwest of Denio. Precious opal was first discovered here in 1905 and a number of claims were located at that time. Exploration of these deposits has been continued intermittently by various parties since that time. The opal field lies within an area approximately 5 miles wide and 10 miles long in certain beds outcropping along the walls and slopes of Virgin Creek Valley. Geology of The Virgin Valley The Virgin Valley opal district is located in Humboldt County, Nevada, approximately 40 miles northeast of Winnemucca. The geology of the district is characterized by a series of tuffaceous sedimentary rocks of Miocene age, known as the Virgin Valley Formation. These rocks were deposited in a lake environment, and are interbedded with layers of diatomite and volcanic ash. The opal in the Virgin Valley district occurs as replacements of diatomite and volcanic ash layers. It is thought to have formed during the late Pliocene epoch, when silica-rich fluids circulated through the rocks. The uranium in the opal is thought to have been derived from nearby volcanic rocks Many opal experts consider the Virgin Valley material to be some of the best, brightest and most beautiful opal yet discovered. The Virgin Valley deposits produce a wide variety material from intensely colored crystal opal to some of the world’s finest black opal. Brilliant flashes of red, blue, yellow, green and all the rest of the rainbow emanate from these spectacular gems.

Artist Bio:”Michael Little Elk was raised in South Dakota on the Rosebud Reservation where he was fortunate enough to learn the traditions of his Native Lakota-Sioux culture.”’Raised on the reservation by his grandmother, this creative jeweler lived in the southwest, with his Navajo wife. However, his beautifully detailed, hand-wrought pieces reflect his Plains heritage in subject matter. He liked to accent his silver work with gold details, and create variety with polish, texture, darkened silver, etc. Horses and horsemen were favorite subjects, as were el warriors, and narratibe pieces depicting Lakota lore.’ His jewelry and sculptures have been included in the collections of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and numerous galleries around the United States.

Na Na Ping was born in 1952 at the Pascua Yaqui village of Guadalupe just out side of Tempe Arizona where he remains a registered member. After receiving a business degree from Arizona State university, inspired by his uncles lapidary work, he began his career in jewelry. Developing his skills over time, he began experimenting with cutting edge inlay using a wide range of semi precious stones such as turquoise, varascite, sugilite, jade and many others. His fame developed from his unusual ability to combine many complex cuts into a mosaic of color onto a wide and heavy sterling silver shank. This mosaic extends to the edge of the piece of jewelry, giving it a feel of floating atop without the sterling silver appearing in the field of the piece, much like you feel on the edge of an infinity pool. After meeting his wife, a Nambe pueblo woman, her grandfather in a ceremony gave him the name Na Na Ping, the Tewa word meaning Aspen Mountain. Today, Na Na Ping teaches jewelry design at the Poeh arts school in Pojaque Pueblo north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is the past president of the Indian Arts and Crafts Association based in Albuquerque, New Mexico and has served as Vice President of the prestigious Southwestern Association for Indian Arts. He is the recipient of the SWAIA Arlene Feddes fellowship award that recognizes excellence in Native American Art. He has won first prizes for jewelry in every major show throughout the southwest as well as internationally in Japan, Germany and Australia. His pieces are shown at major museums, among them, the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC and New York, Museum of Northern Arizona, Heard Museum, Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and the Eiteljorg Museum of Germany.
