Navajo Tufa Cast Sterling Bolo Tie

Rebecca Begay

Rebecca was born and raised on the Navajo reservation and grew up near Crownpoint, New Mexico and then attended Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona, earning a degree in art education, but more importantly, this is where she met her husband Darryl. Darryl taught Rebecca the art of tufa cast work, in which a design is painstakingly cut into a piece of tufa stone and then the mold poured with sterling silver. The Begays only use Hopi tufa stone, which is the highest quality stone, known for its fineness which allows them to carve intricate designs into the stone. Rebecca's designs often come from nature and she loves water and rainbow designs. She also loves drawing and painting and has been accepted to show her jewelry at the highly respected Heard Museum Indian Market in Phoenix, Arizona. Rebecca and Darryl live in Gallup, New Mexico with their children.

This gorgeous bolo tie is made from a handcarved tufa stone cast and set with a piece of natural Arizona turquoise found near Bisbee. The stone measures 7/8 inch by 1/2 inch. The braided black leather tie measures 48 inches in length and is finished with tufa cast sterling tips, each measuring 3 inches in length.
