Vintage Sterling Dangle Earrings Navajo Story Teller Style with Dwelling Scene Marked TC-
Thomas Charley is full blooded Native American Indian. He was born in in 1952 into the Navajo Reservation. He was born and raised in Crownpoint, New Mexico. He has been creating jewelry since 1977. He specializes in his own unique contemporary style that he has developed on his own. His style is both stylish and very dramatic while still having all the character and ethics of his forefathers that introduced him into the business. Storyteller is a classic Navajo jewelry design that has roots in Navajo Folk Art. The storyteller design gives homage to how Navajo (Diné) culture traditionally did not have a written language, so all history and traditions are passed on orally. The scenes depicted in storyteller jewelry tell the story of the traditional Navajo way of life, which may include a hogan (traditional Navajo home), weaving, drumming, chores, horses, sheep, cooking, campfire, or Southwest scenery. The details can be quite intricate and are most commonly displayed on cuff bracelets. Storyteller jewelry is one example of how art can serve as a beautiful medium to share aspects of cultures, beyond written text.
