Best instructor ever, in metal smithing ❤

[@kylewood8327]

I love Navajo bracelets & rings, especially from Calvin Peterson. Great video…

[@godschildyes]

Excellent presentation and beautiful jewelry! The only thing is that the music is so loud that it is very difficult to hear him. Literally have to strain to hear him above the music.

[@lydaalvarez123]

Wonderful and very informative, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@roadkingrider6532]

I’m just now getting into buying some Navajo pieces. Really loving Curtis Pete’s work.

[@annh3599]

Really nice presentation. You're extremely knowledgeable. Thanks.

[@yvonnepagan9912]

Dillon, that was a great video bout Navajo silver ant turquoise jewellery. Very informative and wetted my appetite for some pieces. May I suggest you drop that overly loud music though. I could barely make out what you were saying and I wanted to hear it all. When/if I am in America again I will look for some of this lovely work. Thank you for showing it. 🦘🌐❤️

[@chenoatso9122]

Some of native navajo art where it's is real deeply true In the Rezervation in Gallup, New Mexico and tuba city, Arizona... But know the Native American Rezervation and tribe...

[@Toci333]

Time to make yourselves known instead of the white man capitolizing on your art

[@ElementsIreland]

Thanks Dillon... very informative. I have a ring that I would love to know more about. Can I send you a picture to see if you know what tribe or stone it is?

[@MsShellybell12]

I love the 50's bracelet

[@gabrielkirkbaca2910]

I really appreciate your videos, those pieces are incredible, please let us know what the values are.

[@robertzingery8888]

Is it considered ingot if you melt silver into ingot , roll to certain length then hammerd out to desired width and shape? The finish product is cut from that.

[@CARNELIANTURQUOISE]

I love Will Denetdale's jewelry. I own several of his works of art

[@indianoutlaw9647]

I have a bracelet made by Mary Jane Buckshot that I treasure. Bought it at a powwow at Edgewater Park in Cleveland many years ago.

[@themsrenee65]

Hello how are you I have a question is turquoise cold to the Touch I have some big giant balls Necklace but it’s cold to the touch

[@anmolgemsstones9084]

nice

[@elsietamburelli8780]

Love it beautiful. I wish I could buy the bracelet 😪

[@patriciahogan829]

You didn't mention that they used Coin Silver in the late 19th century and early 20th century they used to melt down US coins to use instead of stirling silver as it was cheaper. I have four pieces that have been passed down in our family. My daughter has them now. We are not NativeAmerican but native Americans of New Mexico? I am now past 80 and these belonged to my two grandmothers. How Blessed I feel. Almost all of my NativeAmerica jewelry has also been passed down to my daughter and grand daughter.

[@andersonparkett3075]

I seen my braclet n buckle. It has AP name stamp.

[@jimb2855]

Where can I buy the Navajo Jewelry without the stones in them? Going to use my own turquoise stones

[@MajimeTV]

It's called a "setting" when you want the jewelry without stones

[@arizonanative2422]

Hey Dillon, I have a native american turquoise and silver cuff bracelet received from my mother. It's a very nice heavy piece of art that I know nothing about. Can you help me out with this?

[@apo1915]

what good is it if i cant hear anything. what a shame..

[@sclogse1]

On my three stone bracelet, my center stone fell out. I decided to use the rubbery shoe glue to hold it in instead of just side pressure and a layer of sawdust under it for height and cushioning. This baby ain't ever falling out. But I need to know the best tool for pressing the silver wrap back up against the side of the stone.

[@annh3599]

sclogse1 The tool you need is called a burnisher. But any stainless, shiny, smooth object will work. Watch a video on burnishing bezels.

[@jeanaandreatta949]

I wanted to watch the video until the end but I couldn’t hear over the noise and distraction of the music. It was too loud, to be able to hear you speaking.

[@l.s.7053]

The music is wayyyy too loud.

[@kathmandunepal3883]

Hi we are also making like this dedgin

[@keithsnider1958]

The background music is distracting. Otherwise great video!!

[@DurangoSilver]

Keith, thanks for the advice. Thank you for watching

[@melanie.l6282]

Nice items but the music is sòoooooo loud!

[@tonydevroude130]

Why is the music more predominant than the tutorial ?

[@DurangoSilver]

I am not sure Tony. It did come out that way on my computer.

[@tonydevroude130]

Thanks, sorry I only have one-way hearing. How do I purchase some Ithaca Peak ?

[@ZFern9390]

The music is very repelling! I had to stop the video.

[@sandraconko4647]

That music !!!!!

[@ZFern9390]

Right??? It's awful. I couldn't finish watching the video so I'm reading the comments.

[@elizabethlinsay9193]

Thus is wonderful but the music wasn't necessary.

[@chenoatso9122]

Where's the original squash blossom Navajo tribe made the squash blossom but the Zuni tribe took the idea and make it their ideas and opinions....

[@stasylumbassist]

Is that right? I awlays heard the Zuni Claim they Originally made those and Conchos. Idk, Zunis claim us stole their culture. Which I dont believe at all. I find it really hard for them to be anymore influential than the Hopi already had been.

[@dawnwesterbeck5744]

Please STOP the music! Very distracting

[@stasylumbassist]

Agreed they really didnt need it at all

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Yes, I hate it, too! I can't hear the men when they are talking.

[@ZFern9390]

It's awful!

[@whodunitpros8555]

Lose the background music please

[@jackieholona5331]

U don't know go to the Rez m get the true history.....but really alot of info is just for natives only

[@deborahcollins9450]

Ditch the music Can't hear the man

[@joniangelsrreal6262]

Unfortunately yr background noise is a huge distraction from this important information

[@abepetrow]

I just don't see the need for that obnoxious background music. I can make my own background music.

[@lylelay]

Annoying music didn't finish

[@ZFern9390]

Neither did I 😵‍💫

[@jamesburke6078]

I prefer east coast native American jewelry.... the rest is junk!

[@vsee3154]

Music sucks...how about something that goes with your theme?

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

ENOUGH WITH THE MUSIC! VERRRRY DISTRACTING!

[@Toci333]

Your caps are very distracting!

[@pintorama]

Music sucks
