Navajo Silversmith Anthony
meet navajo silversmith anthony
When I first met Navajo silversmith Anthony in New Mexico (USA), I was immediately captivated by his beautiful silversmithing work.
Anthony takes great pleasure in sharing his jewelry-making process with others, and so he spontaneously invited me to his studio where he demonstrated how he crafts his traditional silver-turquoise jewelry.
each piece is one-of-a-kind
The traditional craftsmanship of turquoise jewelry is a fundamental aspect of Navajo cultural identity. Anthony has been crafting unique turquoise pieces for over 50 years, teaching himself this art form along the way.
I've long been captivated by this stunning art of silversmithing, and I was fortunate to meet Anthony, who exclusively crafted a beautiful collection of one-of-a-kind pieces that we designed together for Studio Nonna.

Anthony is not only a mesmerizing silversmith, but he also possesses a heart of gold. He welcomed me so warmly into his family, and I am truly proud to be able to share his uniquely dedicated work with you now here on Studio Nonna.
