Allison Snowhawk Lee is one of the most refined and finished jewelers we have ever worked with. This is one of the reasons why we handed over one of our most cherished stones for him to work with. High-grade, natural, smoky Bisbee Turquoise and the silversmithing of Allison Snowhawk Lee seemed of a predetermined destiny. This ring is so nicely made and the stone such a classic example of gem-grade American turquoise, it would be difficult to discover a more suited marriage of sky stone and silver.
About the artist:
Allison Lee - Navajo Silversmith:
Speaking of the silver and gold jewelry he hand crafts, Allison Lee's captivating voice is sincere when he says, "One time my uncle told me that everything we build comes from the earth, like the silver that comes from the earth, or the turquoise that comes from the earth. That is a lot of energy. You put it together and you put your heart and mind into a piece. Then sometimes a certain piece of jewelry- I believe- it is made for a certain person. I usually have a ring, or something, that stays with me for about two or three years, until the right person comes along. And then that person buys that piece. I believe that every piece of jewelry that I make is made for somebody out there- it's made for somebody special. Whoever might be having problems, or something like that. In essence, that energy helps that person get help, by wearing pieces that we make. That is the way I look at it.
