| Navajo silversmith Jimmy Poyer was born in 1945 near Mexican Water, Arizona and raised near Red Mesa, south of the Four Corners. His traditional Navajo family upbringing gave him a strong sense of values. Jimmy's first love was music and he played lead guitar and sang vocals all across the country for nearly two decades, often as the opening act for well-known country performers. He worked as an apprentice to renowned jewelry Jimmie Harrison when he wasn't on tour. Soon he began making jewelry on his own, borrowing the inlay style from Harrison, but creating his own unique Native American designs. His new passion for jewelry making coincided with his desire to quit traveling and stay home with his wife Theresa and their children. Every piece of Jimmy's work is built by hand from sheet silver, wire, and natural stones. |
