Silver Hand Artist Ramy Brooks creating authentic handmade Alaska Native Art in Alaska, each piece is unique and comes with the Silver Hand Tag to verify its authenticity. Ramy grew up locally on the Yukon River between fish camp, the village of Rampart, and Fairbanks. Ramy’s work reflects his Athabascan and Yupik heritage, experiences growing up in a rural environment, subsistence lifestyle, and his love of the outdoors. Inspirations come from the wildlife, the wilderness, and the importance of their role in Alaska Native culture like fishing, smoked salmon, hunting, and berry picking. Ramy uses a combination of natural dyes (blueberries, cranberries, alder bark, etc.) and inks to highlight his work. Antlers are cut and sanded by hand, engraved, dyed, polished, and then riveted with copper and/or silver. The jewelry is a mix of traditional and contemporary artwork that allows Ramy to share his love for his heritage and the beauty he has experienced in his many adventures throughout Alaska.
