You can certainly appreciate the time ,effort and experience, that has gone into this piece of jewellery when you watch this video ,it gives you an appreciation for all that this beautiful jewellery is ,lovely
Wonderful shop and beautiful tools!
Beautiful ring, I appreciate the pieces I have even more. It's the first time I've seen a piece designed and created. Thank you for sharing your artistry.
リング一つでこんなに手間かかってんのか
すげーな
安いくらいだ
That's a lot of hard working, I hope people when they buy from him consider that
We all put a lot of time and hard work onto our pieces
Fabulous video loved seeing your work in progress so interesting if its okay to ask what was the purpose of the powdery ash stuff you were using in the end of the video i have never seen this used before very interesting. Loved your tools as well, thank you so much for sharing this with us its great to see a fellow artist at work
It’s probably wood ash. It’s an old native technique.
@@sachavan Is wood ash typically green and gritty? I'd love to know more about this technique, perhaps it's to make a sort of sandblasted matte look? Does anybody (reading these comments) know?
I also would like to know what Mr. Arviso was using!
awesome ring
Wonderful to watch, I wish I could learn your art. Thanks Where can we buy your work?
It is so fun to watch an artist at work! Will Mr Arviso please share with us what the black sand like substance is he uses to polish the ring at the end? I would be very grateful.
So beautiful. You are so talented
Beautiful work I love ❤️ Indian jewelry and I have many pieces from over 30 years ago
My jaw dropped a little when I saw the final polish being applied. I really liked the satin finish it created.
Excellent video
The old ways are the best ways! Thanks for sharing! KANSAS
What's the green powder that you're polishing the ring with?
I noticed that Steve's bench pin holder is loose - unscrew the holder from the bench,put several toothpicks in the bench hole, and reattach the bench pin holder - that should take out the wobble.
Beautiful.
my grandfather was also an artisan. I regret never appreciating his art enough to learn it myself
Nothing like watching a master at work. Thank you!
the intelligent idea must the best art work design that is awesome art and beautiful art work.
What a great design !!!!looks beautiful !!!!
When your filming I wish you could get an angle so we could see the jewel that his hands cover from the side. Can you fill from another angle? 🤔😊🥴I love this
I saw some of his work in a store that carries imported goods from tribes all over the world. Very beautiful indeed!
Just imagining the amount of concentration and patience needed to craft such things gives me a headache.
Definitely would love to purchase one of his art piece’s sometime.
Was wondering why this kind of jewelry was so expensive now I understand
Nothing like handmade by a master silversmith
Part of why native jewelry is so expensive also is the turquoise. Turquoise with matrix, or polychrome turquoise, especially natural or high grade stabilized, or gem grade natural, can run tbe artist up to $10 a gram if they are buying cabochons. Sk they factor that into the price they choose to charge.
Do you have any finger prints left? I used my fingers alot and they have a hard time getting prints.
Thank you so much for your informative videos !!
Wow
Awesome ...........!
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!
Very nice work Steve, you are a true craftsman. What abrasive are you using at the end in the plastic bowl?
I don't think its an abrasive, but something like a patina to help the designs darken and stand out more. It makes it look more vintage. I'm wondering too, but that's my best guess.
Absolutely historic and legendary.
What type of torch are you using?
Native master.
What is the powder he is using?
Have you ever fallen in love with a piece that u have to keep it?
I'm. A prqc5icing silversmith and this happens more often than you think (or at least for honest silversmiths who guarantee quality work, usually those who feel that the jewelry they are making is a reflection of the character of th3 person making it). I always use good turquoise, and because of this, I always make something beautiful that I don't want to part with because so much of my precious energy went into making my peice beautiful.
Some silversmith artists can easily part with their work because they are in it for the money. For them, it may take about two days to put out like twenty rings of varying quality. For me, and other silversmiths like me, sometimes it will take me two days to make one ring because I'm making 3verything perfect. I hammer out my silver and I cut my own turquoise stones, my heart and soul goes into my pieces. Ans I love to keep my stuff heavy. Heavy jewelry is a preference for most natives.
Wow! Amazing work. You are so talented. I’m definitely subscribing to your channel. Could you do a video regarding how to make a wide sterling cuff with bezels on it??
Steve is a AMAZING artist! You guys need to interview Curtis Pete as well! 🤙🏻
Good jobs..
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this. What an amazing talent! Thank you.
Yaateeh nizhoneeh 👏🏽🪶
Beautiful skill
🐝💤💥❤💫👍
欲しくなりました！
❤
Georgous 😊
Nice work
Nizhoní, thank you for sharing. I learned a lot. :D
What is that powder he’s using at the end of the video??
Could be chromium oxide powder, it's a polishing compound.
That was so cool to watch! What a beautiful piece of jewelry!
You can see how each tool has been used to create many jewelries.
Great video and finished product
Amazing
Amazing, He didn't even have to clean it up or sand other than the ring permimeter.
How are the accent pieces made, like the feathers that you see a lot of? Are they stamped and cut out of a sheet of silver?
Around the 16 minute mark, what is he using to take off the patina? Is that ash?
It’s ash!
SOUTHWEST channel Thank you 🙏
Amazing work🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
anyone know what he's using to apply that finish?
Only the masters can make it look that easy. Wow.
The technique on the soldering ❤️
Beautiful work, but I wish these guys would wear respirator protection.
I've seen these older silversmiths at work, and they have very good heavy ventilation going through their workplace. Which is why they live loooong years doing this type of work.
What kind of Turquoise is that?
Wow that is so cool!! This is magic
Beautiful work.
Wow!! Gorgeous piece!! Bravo!!!
Great artist! Tks!
What is the powder you are using with your fingers near the end of the video? The stuff you are rubbing onto the ring.
Looks like chromium oxide
It's just ashes. The reason it looks greenish is b3cause he doesn't change it out. It's nice to leave the ash greenish looking due to the oxidation coming off from the silver, it also adds a dark hue to areas that you want the oxidation to be. I'm not sure if it applies ro all diné silversmiths, but I also use ashes because in our native tradition, when you want to protect yourself from spirits and negative energy, you can rub a little bit of ashes on yourself. When I polish my rings or pendants with it, I'm also giving it a cleansing and a blessing for the person who purchases it, b3cause I want my customers to get something with clean energy.
Magnificent!
Love his work.
💛
Beautiful!
Gorgeous ring.
Amazing
Beautiful
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Seeing these artists work gives me a lot of hope in the American dream. Thanks for sharing.
What is the green powder the ring is rubbed with near the end?
I think chrome oxide..I just picked up a jar from Thunderbird
@@wade8067 Is your chrome oxide green? So many people are saying it's ash. Ash that I am familiar with is light grey and powdery like talc, not of weight, like the green stuff he's using. Its such a bummer that these videos are made and no (clear and concise) answers are ever given, no response from the artists - at least that I've seen. They want you to watch and subscribe but then drop the ball.on 2-way communication. Wade, I appreciate you sharing what you think/know it is, thank you.
@@flyingcheff yea the green one. Just know when you rub it on finished cabs, it can collect in the smallest crevice like in the matrix. Even if you use a soft fine brush some areas you can't reach. I tried Saphire powder and like the polish it gives my turquoise cabs.
Flying chef, it is indeed ash. Why it looks green is because it's ooooold ash that he keeps using over and over. After a while, after continuously recycling it, it gets black, which I feel is a desirable anyway, the carbon from the ash acts like a very fine polish, and the black from the ash helps to add a little more depth to that vintage look IN ADDITION to the oxidation of the silver. It's an old native trick that I noticed a lot of my generation of natives are not familiar with. I'm practicing to be a silversmith, and my gosh, when you put that much effort into a piece of jewelry, it's always hard to let go. Especially if you are always picking tbe best kind of turquoise that catches your eye.
Beautifully made. So confident with the techniques used. Inspires me to keep working to improve my techniques. What was placed in the setting under the cabochon before setting. I’ve not seen this before?
