Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Raymond Betsoi

The Navajo pearls are made from a 26 quage silver sheet. Each bead is cut and domed to the required size. The beads are then soldered, filed, polished to a shine. When all the beads are completed, they strung using a foxtail. The bracelets and arrowheads are made using the sandcast technique. The bezels that hold the turquoise stones are made from a 28 gauge silver sheet. Each turquoise stone is cut and shaped by hand. Turquoise cabs are not used in any of the bracelets.
