EDISON CUMMINGS –Navajo
For someone who was born in 1962 and a relatively young silversmith Edison is a highly imaginative silversmith with detail and originality that can leave anyone speechless. His works represent traditional bump ups & stamping with a modernist approach. The use of mixed materials like silver, gold, turquoise, and ironwood are samples of his creativity. We are proud to have these pieces by Edison.
