A husband and wife team, they created impeccable handcrafted sterling silver jewelry for several decades. They were featured in many Native American jewelry books and won numerous awards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGene (1932-2021) learned his skills at an early age from carefully observing his father, who was a silversmith working in old traditional styles. After serving in the U.S. Army in the Korean War, Gene refined his abilities by attending a class at the Navajo Community College. Here, he was taught by the famous Navajo silversmith, Kenneth Begay. Martha (1933-2019) learned silversmithing from Gene in the 1960s, which began a long career of collaborating with her husband in jewelry. Martha also earned a master’s degree at the University of Arizona and taught linguistics and literature at Diné College. They stamped their work with their last name \"JACKSON,” sometimes also with a hogan symbol. Their son, Tommy Jackson, is an award-winning silversmith as well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sundance Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47821975191657,"sku":"SP50","price":600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0242\/5605\/3353\/files\/IMG_3118_f36dbba9-6113-4e4e-9036-8886010562b0.jpg?v=1784734202","url":"https:\/\/thesundancegallery.com\/products\/gene-and-martha-jackson-navajo-bracelet-with-large-turquoise-stone-and-carved-detailing-sp50","provider":"The Sundance Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
