Today's Native
American jeweler has
the ability to bridge the gap between art and ornamentation.
An elaborate palette of colors shows through in the masterful
skills of the inlay artist, while striking detail and contrast
is illustrated in the overlay technique of the best Hopi silversmiths.
Precious metals and other fine materials have found their way
into the Native artists resources, including platinum, gold,
diamonds and pearls - as well as classic turquoise, gem grade
coral, and other semi-precious stones. Many of these creations
are one-of-a-kind originals - a true work of wearable
art!
