J1401 Silver Box

Sterling silver box by Navajo silversmith Dan Oliver. The 2” x 2” x 1” box has a beautiful turquois stone encased with a hand stamped applique pattern.

Dan Oliver, resident Navajo silversmith at Shades of the West for over 40 years, created original American Indian jewelry exclusively for Shades of the West and Bischoff’s at the Park.

Dan loved silversmithing for many reasons:  he loved making things with his hands, he loved taking a sheet of silver and creating something beautiful, and he loved to try different techniques of working with the metal and the various hues and shades of turquoise.
