About Elgin Tom

Elgin Tom’s journey as a silversmith began in his childhood, helping his father and grandfather with their jewelry-making. His grandfather, who made unique stamps by hand, passed down his knowledge of traditional stamp work techniques and bezel set turquoise. Elgin embraced these skills and continued to refine them throughout his life. His craftsmanship honors his heritage while allowing room for his own creative interpretation.

Today, Elgin creates one-of-a-kind pieces that stand out for their authenticity and attention to detail. Each piece of jewelry reflects the traditional methods passed down through generations. Whether it's the deep, natural hues of turquoise or the intricate stamp work, Elgin’s pieces tell a story of tradition, culture, and personal artistry.

The Artistry behind Elgin Tom's Jewelry Collection

Elgin Tom's jewelry collection is a remarkable fusion of cultural tradition and personal creativity, primarily rooted in his Navajo heritage. His artistry begins with carefully selecting high-quality stones, particularly turquoise, which he masterfully integrates into each piece. This meticulous approach makes sure that every item is visually stunning and rich in meaning and context.

A distinctive feature of Elgin Tom's work is his stamp work, a technique he learned during his childhood. This method serves as a hallmark of his collections, bringing an authentic touch that connects each piece to the deep traditions of Native American silversmithing.

The incorporation of traditional designs alongside contemporary elements allows him to create jewelry that resonates with a broad audience, appealing to both collectors of vintage styles and those who prefer modern aesthetics.
