The color of a New Mexico sky!

Kirk Smith's style combines the best of the genuine old pawn pieces - the careful craftsmanship, traditional design, and those old style solid stone settings. His work is distinctive, and many know when they see a Kirk Smith piece who the artist is without even having to look at the hallmark. This talented artist has changed his style over the years, but has also remained true to the traditional heavy silver work of the Navajo.

Kirk Smith passed away tragically on September 17, 2012. We have a dwindling selection of Kirk's jewelry left. But once they are gone, they're gone! At the time of his death, Kirk had arguably replaced his mentor and brother-in-law, the late Harry Morgan, as the reigning practitioner of classic revivalist Navajo design. Kirk Smith's work is considered collector and investment quality. With the recent price increases in both turquoise and sterling silver in the last few years, Kirk's beautiful pieces would be an excellent investment not only in terms of their high quality turquoise and precious metal but because of the acclaimed artist who created them. Don't miss your chance to add some of his fine jewelry to your Native American Indian jewelry collection.
