In Very Good Condition

Fred Thompson (1921–2002) was a Navajo (Diné) master silversmith whose career spanned more than six decades, making him one of the longest‑active and most respected jewelers in 20th‑century Navajo silverwork. Fred Thompson began silversmithing in 1936 at age 15, working for Tobe Turpen’s Indian Trading Company in Gallup, New Mexico, where he remained loyal for most of his career. He briefly paused his work to serve in World War II, then continued producing jewelry into the 1990s.

Buying from more than one category? You only pay the highest rate in your cart, so eight fetishes and a pair of earrings ship together for just $15.
