Shorty, Coin Silver.There is a reason that every year at Santa Fe's Indian Market Perry Shorty sells out almost immediately. Born in 1964 in Ganado, Arizona, he has stated: "I try to keep things simple. The old smiths didn't have a lot of tools and materials to work with, and I like doing it their way." His hand-forged jewelry is made from melted U.S. Barber coins. They are made in the style of Navajo jewelry from 1880-1940. Perry Shorty is a master of very precise stampwork. His pieces are seen as elegant simplicity but his jewelry making techniques are quite complex.
