{"title":"Alton Bédonie","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlton Bedonie was born on November 16, 1951 in Jeddito, Arizona near Keams Canyon on the Navajo Nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe was born in a hogan (traditional Navajo home). Alton was the second of four children. His mother, Duffy Bedonie, was a single mom and as a a weaver, she supported her family through her art. Later on she became proficient in jewelry making as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a child, Alton often stayed with his grandparents, who raised horses, sheep and cattle. They also grew squash, melons, and corn. He cherishes those memories, and it was with his grandfather, Jim Bedonie, that he first learned silversmithing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlton married his wife, Lillian in 1976. He adopted Lillian’s son, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.garlands.com\/collections\/kee-yazzie\"\u003eKee Yazzie\u003c\/a\u003e, who today is an acclaimed jeweler. Around the same time, Alton met famous Navajo jeweler, Tommy Singer. He was very influential in Alton’s jewelry making. Alton’s mother also gave him some of her stamping tools, which further set him on his path of being a jeweler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo support his family, Alton worked for the Winslow City Water Company for 25 years. He continued to make jewelry, and after he retired, he has been able to devote more time to his beautiful art. His precise silver stamping and chisel work is some of the best today. His silverwork is also often complemented with high grade and natural turquoise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bisbee-turquoise-ring-189","title":"Bisbee Turquoise Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eSterling Silver Ring with Hand-Stamped and Filed Designs and set with Natural Bisbee Turquoise from Arizona.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRing Size: 9\u003cbr\u003e.25” Setting Width, .5” Setting Height\u003cbr\u003e.375” - .5” Band Width\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alton Bedonie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43119772532819,"sku":"RG06574","price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/6305\/files\/RG06574-10.jpg?v=1760601728"},{"product_id":"bisbee-turquoise-ring-190","title":"Bisbee Turquoise Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eSterling Silver Ring with Hand-Stamped and Filed Designs and set with Natural Bisbee Turquoise from Arizona.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRing Size: 10.25\u003cbr\u003e.375” Setting Width, .625” Setting Height\u003cbr\u003e.375” - .5” Band Width\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alton Bedonie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43119772696659,"sku":"RG06575","price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/6305\/files\/RG06575-13.jpg?v=1760601734"},{"product_id":"coral-earrings-314","title":"Coral Earrings","description":"\u003cp\u003eSterling Silver Post and Dangle Earrings with Hand-Stamped Designs and set with Coral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1” Width, 1.5” Height\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alton Bedonie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43357684498515,"sku":"ER10247","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/6305\/files\/ER10239-12.jpg?v=1766164592"},{"product_id":"sleeping-beauty-turquoise-earrings-287","title":"Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Earrings","description":"\u003cp\u003eSterling Silver Post and Dangle Earrings with Hand-Stamped Designs and set with Natural Sleeping Beauty Turquoise from Arizona.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1” Width, 1.5” Height\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alton Bedonie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43357689413715,"sku":"ER10246","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/6305\/files\/ER10238-10.jpg?v=1766165257"},{"product_id":"azurite-ring-6","title":"Azurite Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eSterling Silver Ring with Hand-Stamped Designs and set with Azurite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRing Size: 11\u003cbr\u003e.625” Setting Width, .875” Setting Height\u003cbr\u003e.25” - 1” Band Width\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alton Bedonie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43357690495059,"sku":"RG06714","price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/6305\/files\/RG06714-7.jpg?v=1766165350"},{"product_id":"turquoise-earrings-815","title":"Turquoise Earrings","description":"\u003cp\u003eSterling Silver Post and Dangle Earrings with Hand-Stamped Designs and set with Turquoise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1” Width, 1.375” Height\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alton Bedonie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44077215580243,"sku":"ER10562","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/6305\/files\/ER10562-61.jpg?v=1771974399"},{"product_id":"silver-link-bracelet-17","title":"Silver Link Bracelet","description":"\u003cp\u003eSterling Silver Link Bracelet with Fluted Bead Designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.625” Bracelet Width\u003cbr\u003e8.75” Bracelet Length\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alton Bedonie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44077223379027,"sku":"BR08902","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/6305\/files\/BR08902-47.jpg?v=1771974712"},{"product_id":"silver-link-bracelet-18","title":"Silver Link Bracelet","description":"\u003cp\u003eSterling Silver Link Bracelet with Fluted Bead Design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.625” Bracelet Width\u003cbr\u003e8” Bracelet Length\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alton Bedonie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44077223608403,"sku":"BR08903","price":1100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/6305\/files\/BR08903-52.jpg?v=1771974764"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/6305\/collections\/Alton_Bedonie_88cd1da4-5abf-42f3-8106-cf6cef1a20c4.jpg?v=1760573036","url":"https:\/\/garlands.com\/fr-fr\/collections\/alton-bedonie\/material_azurite.oembed","provider":"Garland's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
