Using traditional techniques of the first, second, and third phase jewelers (1880-1940’s), Perry hand-extrudes silver wire, applies intricate stamp work, and uses files, chisels and appliqué to create complex designs on the surface of his pieces. His work could easily be celebrated as a revival of the elegant jewelry of the 1940’s with its meticulously hand fashioned art nouveau appeal. Shorty makes the majority of his own stamps and is a master of many techniques including: fabrication of beads and squash blossoms, tufa casting, repousse, twisted wire, drawn wire, and appliqué of silver ornamentation. He utilizes all of these methods to create intense works of art capturing fragile intricacies at a fascinating depth. The artist chooses to work with coin silver to construct his creations, melting down ‘Charles Barber’ (1890 to 1915) silver coins and casting them into ingots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLone Mountain Turquoise (Nevada)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1960s, Lone Mountain was converted to a small open pit operations by Menliss Winfield.This mine once produced a great variety of turquoise, included some of the finest examples of spider web turquoise as well as clear, deep-blue stones.\u003cbr\u003e(Still active, but the color now are more lighter blue)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gallup Trading","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49812417282290,"sku":"G01280","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0490\/8725\/0589\/files\/144A7916.jpg?v=1784221746","url":"https:\/\/galluptrading.com\/products\/lone-mt-coin-silver-bracelet-by-perry-shorty-5-1-2","provider":"Gallup Trading","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
