This striking bolo by Jim Poyer suggests the face of a Navajo Ye'ii, with several kinds of turquoise for the face, outlined by bands of white mother of pearl and jet and a headdress of silver stars set in jet.
For over twenty years, Jim Poyer had a country-western band, the "Jim Poyer Band", and one of the guitar players was Navajo inlay artist Jimmie Harrison. When the band split up, Poyer went to work with his friend making jewelry. Once he was working on his own, Jim Poyer developed a talent for striking color combinations and clean silver work that give his pieces their distinctive, contemporary look.
