The stones move through layered tones of olive and moss with deeper forest hues and occasional flashes of lighter green and blue—traits most often associated with Pilot Mountain turquoise. Although Royston district deposits can produce similar material, the color range and matrix pattern seen here most closely align with those of Pilot Mountain examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpertly polished to highlight subtle variation, the stones bring depth and cohesion to the composition. Johnson’s disciplined silverwork, heavy-gauge construction, balanced proportions, and precise stone placement honor established Navajo silversmithing traditions while presenting a confident revival statement.

Although he is widely identified as a Diné\/Navajo, biographical references describe him as Chishi, Apache Clan, born for Áshiihí, Salt People Clan, reflecting Navajo clan identification rather than a separate primary tribal attribution. He spent much of his life in Alamo, with periods in To’hajiilee and Socorro, and passed away in Albuquerque on November 21, 2020.He spent most of his life in Alamo, with periods in To’hajiilee and Socorro.

He was known for his humor, storytelling, teasing nature, and generosity. He opened his home to people who needed a place to stay, a place to recover, or simply a little steady ground. He was also deeply committed to his Christian faith, known for quoting scripture and encouraging others to know it well. That mix of warmth, conviction, and wit seems to have stayed with those who knew him best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1087\" data-end=\"1638\"\u003eHe was not only a silversmith; he also worked with his hands in other demanding trades, building houses, often in adobe, and taking on fence-building jobs that carried him across New Mexico. Family members remembered traveling with him for work and hunting, listening to his stories along the way. That kind of life matters when looking at his jewelry. His pieces do not feel detached from the world of labor, land, and daily use. They tend to have presence, weight, and a practical confidence that sits well within late-20th-century Navajo jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1640\" data-end=\"2174\"\u003eReference sources and collector literature associate Fred Guerro’s work with stamp and file work, shadowbox construction, and set-stone jewelry. Reported hallmarks include F G, Fred G, and the previously mentioned \"Fred Guerro\" appearing in either stamped or inscribed form. Online examples of his signed jewelry also suggest a preference for substantial silver, bold stone presentation, and collector-scale forms, especially cuffs and other statement pieces. What makes his work appealing is that it does not need exaggerated language. The better pieces speak clearly on their own: strong silver, decisive stones, and a direct design sense that feels rooted rather than ornamental. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silver Cactus Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44157123395781,"sku":"00005BR1NJ9202","price":1850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/0956\/9221\/files\/9130249.webp?v=1776524670"},{"product_id":"navajo-turquoise-coral-squash-blossom-necklace","title":"Substantial Native American Navajo Turquoise Nuggets \u0026 Coral Squash Blossom Sterling Silver Necklace SIGNED","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"259\" data-end=\"503\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt a Glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"259\" data-end=\"503\"\u003eSubstantial Native American turquoise \u0026amp; coral squash blossom necklace\u003cbr data-start=\"187\" data-end=\"190\"\u003eStylistically consistent with Navajo bench work\u003cbr data-start=\"262\" data-end=\"265\"\u003eTurquoise consistent with Kingman material\u003cbr data-start=\"304\" data-end=\"307\"\u003eBead strand with extender\u003cbr data-start=\"383\" data-end=\"386\"\u003eSigned collector example with strong visual contrast and presence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNecklace Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e.925 sterling silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurquoise nuggets in saturated shades of blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed-orange coral accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-gauge sterling construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBench-made beads strung on double-wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHallmarked by the silversmith - artisan under active research\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook-and-eye closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Very Fine — see \u003ca href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"openConditionGuidePopup()\"\u003eSCJ Vintage Condition Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNecklace Specifications: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear scale: Statement matinee length per SCJ size guide, adjusted to opera length with the extender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLargest turquoise: 5\/8\" x 1\/2\" (bezel to bezel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaja: 2 1\/2\" x 2 7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlossom length range: 1\" - 1 1\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBead diameter: 8-9 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal length (including clasp): 20 3\/8\" (approx. 25 5\/8\" with the chain extender)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 199.9 grams\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PIECE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"610\" data-start=\"203\"\u003eThe composition of this squash blossom necklace is built around contrast and proportion, with the naja as the focal point, carrying alternating turquoise nuggets and corals.

Deep stampwork continues through the shoulders and out to the terminals, extending the visual interest well beyond the central setting.

Each hollow saucer element was formed from sheet sterling silver, soldered, and polished to a smooth, near-seamless surface. The 25 mm center bead anchors the piece, settling naturally along the neckline as the strand tapers toward the hand-fabricated closure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSilver bead necklaces entered Navajo metalwork in the late nineteenth century, following the introduction of Spanish and Mexican silversmithing techniques. By the early twentieth century, hollow silver beads were widely worn as adornment and portable stores of silver. While many historic examples bear stamped decoration, unadorned vintage strands represent an equally enduring interpretation of the form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"539\" data-end=\"907\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eARTISAN NOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLeo Yazzie is a Navajo silversmith from the Black Mesa region of Arizona who later worked in Flagstaff. His path into jewelry began at Northern Arizona University, where a metalsmithing elective redirected his studies toward silversmithing. By the early 1980s, he was producing jewelry full-time, a career that continued for more than three decades before he retired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe structure of his work reflects influences rooted in home and family. Yazzie has cited the storm-pattern geometry found in his mother’s and grandmother’s Navajo weaving, along with Navajo spiritual teachings, as formative sources. Rather than relying on heavy surface ornament, his designs favor measured spacing and deliberate stone placement, where the pattern is created by the stones themselves. When used, decorative elements such as stamping are applied with restraint and precision, supporting the form rather than dominating it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHe worked primarily in sterling silver, sometimes incorporating gold, and preferred fine turquoise alongside coral, sugilite, lapis, and opal. Precisely fitted inlay and controlled settings became consistent features of his mature pieces, emphasizing balance between material and form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDuring his active years, his jewelry was widely shown through regional and national galleries, earned juried recognition, and developed a strong collector following. With his retirement, signed examples now represent completed studio work from his late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century production period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePERFECT FOR:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCollectors of authentic Native American jewelry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAdmirers of traditional, graduated Navajo pearls \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eThose seeking artisan jewelry without stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSouthwestern and understated styling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLayering with turquoise necklaces and other pearls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✨ Collectors Circle members receive a welcome offer on their first purchase. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silver Cactus Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45781932114117,"sku":"00052NE","price":1437.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/0956\/9221\/files\/2090099.jpg?v=1776524897"},{"product_id":"kingman-turquoise-navajo-spider-web-cuff-bracelet","title":"1970s Southwestern Navajo Kingman Turquoise Spider Sterling Silver Raised Web Shank Cuff Bracelet","description":"\u003cp data-section-id=\"13hjq2b\" data-start=\"98\" data-end=\"112\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e✨ Collectors Circle Members receive a welcome offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"13hjq2b\" data-start=\"98\" data-end=\"112\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"114\" data-end=\"840\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"114\" data-end=\"125\"\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native American turquoise spider cuff bracelet with spider \u0026amp; raised web motif\u003cbr data-start=\"247\" data-end=\"250\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"250\" data-end=\"260\"\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Turquoise cabochon consistent with Kingman material\u003cbr data-start=\"312\" data-end=\"315\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"315\" data-end=\"325\"\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saturated blue turquoise with minimal tan-gray matrix and light pyrite\u003cbr data-start=\"390\" data-end=\"393\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"393\" data-end=\"404\"\u003eAccent:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dimensional spider motif with stampwork and chasing, large sawtooth bezel, rope frame, raised web wirework, and silver drop accents\u003cbr data-start=\"536\" data-end=\"539\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"539\" data-end=\"549\"\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e .925 sterling silver (unmarked)\u003cbr data-start=\"580\" data-end=\"583\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"583\" data-end=\"599\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eAttribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Navajo spider detail with Anglo webbed shank\u003cbr data-start=\"666\" data-end=\"669\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"669\" data-end=\"677\"\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1970s\u003cbr data-start=\"683\" data-end=\"686\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"686\" data-end=\"697\"\u003eStatus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unsigned and unstamped turquoise spider cuff bracelet\u003cbr data-start=\"782\" data-end=\"785\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"785\" data-end=\"799\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine — see \u003ca href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"openConditionGuidePopup()\"\u003eSCJ Vintage Condition Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear scale: medium statement cuff with wide rectangular wrist coverage and dimensional spider-and-web presence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone: 9\/16 x \"3\/8 (bezel to bezel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFace width: 1 3\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInside length: 5 7\/16\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGap: 1 1\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal inside circumference: approx. 6 11\/16\" (M per SCJ size guide)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 47.1 grams\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1562\" data-end=\"1758\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHallmark \u0026amp; Maker Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"563\" data-end=\"826\"\u003eThis bracelet is unsigned and carries no visible sterling stamp.
