- Description
- Glittering World presents the story of Navajo jewelry through the lens of the gifted Yazzie family of Gallup, New Mexico—one of the most celebrated jewelry making families of our time. The silver, gold, and stone inlay work of Lee Yazzie and his younger brother, Raymond, has won every major award in the field. The exhibition—featuring almost 300 examples of contemporary jewelry made by several members of the Yazzie family, opens November 13, 2014, at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in New York, the George Gustav Heye Center, located in the U.S. Custom House near Battery Park. http://AmericanIndian.si.edu/explore/exhibitions/item/838/
