Paul Livingston was born in 1954 and has spent his entire life on the Navajo<br>Church Rock Reservation, where he grew up watching with fascination as his<br>silversmith Uncle crafted raw metal and<br>stone into beautiful jewelry. Through trial and error and a great deal of help<br>from his Uncle, Paul became an accomplished young jewelry maker.<br><br>By the time he was twenty-two he was ready to launch himself full time into<br>silversmithing. Paul Livingstonis an acclaimed Navajo silversmith who favors<br>substance in his metal work and high-quality, natural stones in all his<br>settings.<br><br>Today, nearly forty years later, Paul is a nationally known and collected<br>jewelry artist. He is particularly known for a style of jewelry most<br>silversmiths shy away from a technique known as ‘cluster and row work' where<br>multiple tiny stones are used together to form a delicate, colorful designs in<br>jewelry. Paul is happy to work with the little stones, even the tiny round<br>“snake eye” ones and is renowned for how exquisitely aligned the stone clusters<br>and rows of stones are on his pieces.<br><br>Even at his age Paul continues to experiment with new jewelry techniques and<br>design styles. He especially enjoys working unusual textures created on metals<br>and will often incorporate a new surface<br>finish or other design application to see if these changes might enhance the<br>jewelry's appearance and appeal. Though his forte has always been more<br>traditional even vintage looking Navajo style jewelry, his<br>contemporary designs are also in high demand. Paul Livingston creates beautiful<br>jewelry using stones that aren't often found in Native American jewelry. The<br>intricate ‘saw work designs' of his pieces are especially difficult to achieve<br>but so very visually appealing in Paul's finished work..
