THREE GORGEOUS SLEEPING BEAUTY TURQUOISE STONES–ONE (5/8″ X 1/2″) SET IN THE MIDDLE OF A 2.5″ X 2″ PENDANT THAT HANGS FROM HUGE HANDMADE AND HAND STAMPED BEADS–AND TWO OTHER STONES (1/2″ X 1/4″) GRACING THE HOOK AND EYE CLASP. THE BEADS RANGE IN SIZE FROM 3/4″ WIDE TO 3/8″. IT WEIGHS 80 GRAMS, OR 3.0 OUNCES. AS ONLY TOMMY SINGER CAN DO. TOMMY IS THE MASTER OF MASTERS WHEN IT COMES TO SILVER SMITHING AND OVERLAY TECHNIQUES. PLEASE NOTE: I HAD SOMEONE TELL ME THAT IT LOOKED TOO NEW TO BE VINTAGE. YES–IT DOES LOOK NEW, IT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. YES IT IS VINTAGE–ANYONE WHO KNOW TOMMY SINGER’S WORK KNOWS THIS IS AN OLD HALLMARK. THIS IS AN OLD OLD PIECE THAT HAS BEEN CHERISHED. YOU CAN SEE JUST WHAT A STATEMENT THIS MAKES! LARGE, BUT DOES NOT OVERDO. THIS HAS BEEN GENTLY WORN. SIGNED WITH TOMMY’S OLD “Tc STERLING” STAMP. THIS IS ONE OF HIS HIGHLY DESIRED GENUINE EARLY SIGNATURES. THE NECKLACE IS 20 LONG. THEY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED AFTER HIS DEATH. TOMMY SINGER IS ONE OF THE VERY VERY FEW NATIVE AMERICAN ARTISANS WHO IS. HOPI WHO CAN MAKE QUALITY OVERLAY PIECES. OVERLAY IS USUALLY ATTRIBUTED TO THE HOPI. IT IS A TEDIOUS PROCESS USING TWO DIFFERENT LAYERS OF STERLING, METICULOUSLY CUTTING THE DESIGN IN THE TOP LAYER OF METAL, THEN FILING AND SMOOTHING IT. A LOT OF WORK! TOMMY WAS A REAL MASTER AND HIS WORK IS VERY HIGH QUALITY. SOME OF THE NEWER PIECES ARE NOT THE SAME QUALITY WORKMANSHIP NOR IS THE STERLING AS HEAVY A GUAGE. SOME OF THE NEWER PIECES ARE GOOD QUALITY HOWEVER….. JUST NOT MADE BY TOMMY. Tommy Singer (born 1940 – deceased May 31, 2014). MAY THE WORLD’S GREATEST NAVAJO SILVERSMITH, TOMMY SINGER – REST IN PEACE. TOMMY SINGER WAS TRULY A POSITIVE FORCE IN THE NAVAJO NATION. HE WILL BE MISSED.
