Richard Begay
Navajo
Richard Begay was a Navajo Silversmith from Pinon Arizona. Richard passed away June 1, 2013 and we pay tribute to this remarkable individual.
His work is displayed at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC and the Heard Museum in Phoenix AZ.
He was known for both contemporary and traditional jewelry, as well as his innovative inlay designs. His work is represented in many collections and museums both nationally and internationally.
Richard was born and raised in Navajoland, Arizona. Throughout his art classes in school, he always wanted to create the perfect shape. He soon realized that he wanted to create beautiful jewelry. He had been a silversmith since 1974.
He borrowed jewelry tools from his father-in-law and set to work, learning the demanding craft of silversmithing.
Richard was immediately drawn to the intricate inlay work for which he is known. As he perfected his craft, Richard explored different techniques of inlaying, always searching for the best way, the most beautiful setting, the perfect harmony of material and craft.
He also developed an eye for choosing the best stones for his inlay. Turquoise and coral are his favorite, but Richard used a wide variety of stones and shells, including malachite, spiny oyster, and pacific coral. Not limited to the usual in anything he does, he also inlays opals, sugilite, lapis and other exotic stones into his award-winning pieces.
The importance of harmony in his work is echoed in his silverwork. He incorporates important symbols from his culture. Corn was a significant gift to the People by the Creator--it represents life to the Navajo. The Yei-Be-Chai is the personal link between the Navajo gods and mortal man. The Bear, one of the four animals given to the first people, embodies power and wisdom. It was provided for protection and guidance, and to ward off evil. Richard also uses the Steppe Design found in the wedding baskets and recreates special times, such as the social dances he went to. Encircling it all is his extraordinary inlay, adding color and life. The beautiful things Richard looks for exist in his creations.

Am besten gehst du mal zu einem Juwelier oder Goldschmied.
Der kann dir das mit Sicherheit sagen.
Mit Sicherheit nicht. Mein Sohn und ich waren schon bei mehreren Juwelieren und Goldschmieden. Die hatten alle ĂŒberhaupt keine Ahnung. Deshalb frage ich ja hier. Trotzdem danke fĂŒr deine Antwort. MfG
Dann geh mal zu "Bares fĂŒr Rares". Sind echte Experten dabei.
HĂ€ttest mal den ganzen Ring zeigen sollen. Ansonsten suche mal nach Robert Becenti.
Könnte von Robert Becenti sein, ist ein nativamerikanischer KĂŒnstler, ich glaube ein Navarro, frĂŒher hĂ€tte man gesagt: Navarro-Indianer, seine Motive sind meist auch indianisch angehaucht.
Herzlichen Dank! Von Richard Begay findet man schon viel mehr Schmuck. MfG
