Thomas Singer, regarded silversmith, is known throughout the world for his jewelry work. His overlay pieces incorporate the most traditional of Navajo design - designs that have endured for years and years. Many of these designs are of Navajo rugs and other traditional designs.

Jeweler Thomas Singer is a Navajo Indian from Arizona. He grew up in a small community of Dilcon on the Navajo Reservation.

Mr. Singer uses sterling silver and turquoise to create artistic expressions of Navajo traditional ways. Singer states, "I make jewelry out of silver. Every piece is made with the meanings from my traditional ways - the Navajo way of living. My father was a silversmith. He taught me and wanted me to continue this trade. It was my fathers' dream that I learn to silversmith so that I can continue his belief."

In the 1960's, Thomas Singer became famous for inventing the use of turquoise and coral chips in silverwork. This method of design is referred to as "chip-inlay." So successful was this invention that many Navajo craftsmen copy the method and every Indian jewelry store carry some form of chip-inlay. Mr. Singer's work is well known internationally. His work is featured in a number of Indian art publications. One can easily recognize Thomas' work. He marks his finished pieces with "Thomas Singer", "T. Singer", and with "T and a crescent moon." Whether Mr. Singer creates a bolo tie, buckle, ring, or bracelet, he states that, "All my jewelry are made to satisfy my customer. Each piece is unique and is made very different. I try hard to make different styles and designs of my jewelry."
