THE LAST FRONTIER VII - NATIVE AMERICAN CRAFT

Acclaimed for its unparalleled craftsmanship and artistry, The Last Frontier returns with its seventh collection, including eyewear, jewelry, and accessories that celebrates the many cultural traditions of the American West — from jewelry-making and weaving to ceremonial dancing and horsemanship.

The Last Frontier is a limited edition eyewear collection that achieves new heights of workmanship and artistry. Designed in Los Angeles and handcrafted in Japan, the newest iteration of this elegant and powerful eyewear series is forged at the intersection of Art Deco and the American West.

Glasses are carefully created from the highest-quality plant-based acetate and feature tried and true innovations, like their unique arrow-shaped hinge system cast from sterling silver, as well as fresh takes on signature adornments, like the “Driftwood” that incorporates intricate hand-beaded temples made in collaboration with Kewa Pueblo artist Francisco Bailon.

DESCRIPTION

Impressive rectangular spectacles with expressive volumes and bevel cuts, featuring our signature arrowhead front pins, bold arrowhead temple embellishments paired with custom ‘Braided’ wirecores and polished dual-tone ‘arrowhead’ medallions at the temple tips.

VISION

Ride across the unnamed territories of your rambling heart and you might just discover there’s gold in them thar hills, and vast open ranges where you can plant the seeds of raw intuition. Trust what your amblings bring to fruition, and reap the unforeseen harvests of your wildest visions. An uncompromising vision of artistry and refinement, the Last Frontier (LF) collection represents the rare convergence of rigorous workmanship and rugged swagger with traditional craftsmanship and modern beauty. Distinctive motifs continue the collection’s homage to the cultural traditions of the American West, including embellishments of precious metals, rare turquoises, and other responsibly sourced gemstones. Handcrafted by artisans of deep generational expertise, these collectibles are produced in recognition and support of the region’s Indigenous arts and traditions. As with previous releases, Last Frontier is a symbol of JMM’s commitment to partnering directly with Native artisans and community-driven nonprofits dedicated to promoting Indigenous arts, culture, and tradition.
