Description
- Fabulous Hair Barrette by Navajo Silversmith Herbert Tsosie “HT”
- Herbert Tsosie is a jeweler who draws inspiration from the rich heritage of his Navajo traditions.
- Born in 1950, he has been making jewelry since he was fifteen years of age.
- He was already among the top echelon of Southwestern jewelers / silversmiths (both past and present).
- Herbert was featured in Arizona Highways along with other greats like Jesse Monongye, Richard Tsosie, Boyd Tsosie Gibson Nez, James Little, and Larry Golsch.
- These Navajo silversmiths all would go on to build fine reputations and set the standards you see today for Southwest jewelry.
- Herbert feels that he is creating “tomorrow’s tradition” in Navajo jewelry by being given the rights and prayers by his elders to create his special pieces.
