Navajo

Jeanette Dale is a contemporary Navajo silversmith who learned from her mother, but has developed a traditional style all her own. Jeanette's pieces are recognizable for her distinctive combination of silverwork and beautiful natural stones. Jeanette prefers the traditional Navajo style with heavy, deep stamping and high polishes. She still follows her first employer's advice: to leave a mark to show the jewelry was handmade. After nearly 40 years of jewelry making, Jeanette doesn't have to convince anyone to buy her jewelry. She has won top awards at the Gallup Intertribal ceremonial and her work is sought after by the top collectors in the world.
