Ben Chee Long Navajo Silversmith 1976

Original Silversmith Photos c. 1975

Never before published one-of-a-kind personal photographs of some of the Navajo Nation’s identified silversmiths of the mid 1970’s. Permission granted to use these original photographs with credit given to Tucson Indian Jewelry!

◊ ◊ ◊ J.W. Fleming, Native American Indian Trader, personally took these photographs of silversmiths in the Tucson, Arizona and Gallup, New Mexico area in the mid 1970’s. This period was the heyday of Native American Indian Jewelry. Special thanks to Linda Pennington and Chuck Fleming (Jay’s Jewelers).
