About the Item
Golden Hills Turquoise Money Clip by Navajo Silversmith Sunshine Reeves
Daniel “Sunshine” Reeves was born in 1966 into a family of silversmiths. His older brothers, Gary and David (both deceased) taught him the art of working in silver, with which he has gone on to become one of the most distinguished silversmiths in the country. He has been an active, professional Navajo silversmith since 1986. He is also the half-brother of Andy and Darrell Cadman. Sunshine is known for his distinctive stamp work. He uses an average of 10-20 handmade stamps to complete a pattern. His intricate stamp work and creative designs make his work a favorite of collectors.
Reeves’ pieces begin with flat sheets of silver, which are then deeply hand-stamped and shaped to form intricately decorated bracelets, boxes, and even kerosene lanterns. Though the process is time-consuming and labor intensive, (each individual mark on a piece represents a separate hammer blow) the finished products are beautiful and entirely unique art objects.
Sunshine is well recognized as a master in his field. His work has been displayed at the Peabody Museum, Harvard University, and the Heard Museum. Reeves also took the Best of Show award at the Inter-tribal Indian Ceremonial and is the only silversmith to win Best of Show at the famed Santa Fe Indian Market.
The nickname, “Sunshine” was given by family members when he was young, because of his light colored hair.
Golden Hill turquoise surrounded by sterling silver overlay designs. The Altyn-Tyube ("Golden Hill" in the Kazakh language) mountain range is located in Kazakhstan about 200 miles South of the Russian border. This is where the original Golden Hill mine is located. Another 200 or so miles South brings us to the more recently discovered Lavender mine. While both produce similar material, the Lavender mine tends to produce more turquoise with spiderwebbing. The rough turquoise from both mines tends to get mixed together, so all of the material is generally marketed as Golden Hill turquoise.
