Description: Vintage Bolo Tie by Navajo Artist Justin Morris using Sterling Silver and Turquoise. Silversmith Justin Morris began making jewelry over 50 years ago. At that particular time in American History many Native Americans were turning to art to bring in extra income to support their families. In the mid sixties, Southwestern Indian jewelry started to make its way into mainstream America, finding its way across Sacs of Fifth Avenue Catalogs to featured articles in Arizona Highways. Before Justin decided to take up silver, he was a instructional aide for the Government at Dilcon Boarding School. Morris recalls Grandpa looking out for the livelihood of the family and notes, "the idea (for me to become a silversmith) was all Grandpa's...the learning (however) was all self-taught." Over the next few years, Morris began to learn and refine the skilled trait of not only fabricating jewelry from sheets of silver and turquoise but also learned the art of marketing. He managed to establish--over the course of 50 years--a clientele that spanned from as close as Sedona, Arizona to as far away as Frankfort, Germany.
