From raw coral to timeless legacy jewelry, there’s something powerful about witnessing the transformation — how nature’s raw beauty becomes masterfully works of art, designed to be held, cherished, and passed down for generations.

Shown here: natural coral branches alongside finished pieces from our collection, a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and enduring artistry.

Two generations. One vision in stone and metal.

This Charles Loloma belt buckle and Sonwai’s inlaid bracelets are more than adornment—they are sculptural expressions of color and form. Coral, lapis, and turquoise are set into 18k gold and sterling silver, each composition as deliberate as a painting.

Loloma transformed Native jewelry into fine art. Sonwai, his niece and protégé, carries that legacy forward—refining the language of inlay.

Together, their work tells a story of innovation grounded in family tradition—one that continues to shape the future of contemporary Native jewelry.

What do all these pieces have in common? They’re

What do all these pieces have in common? They’re created using one of the most expressive techniques in Native American jewelry: tufa casting.

This process starts with carving a design into a soft, porous volcanic stone called tufa. When molten silver or gold is poured into the mold, the stone leaves behind a rich, organic texture—no two casts are ever the same. The mold often breaks after use, making each piece an original.

Tufa casting bridges the ancient and the modern, allowing for sculptural form, texture, and fine inlay work—all visible here in pieces by Robert Begay, Charles Loloma, Ric Charlie, Darryl Dean Begay, and Carl and Irene Clark.

It’s not just technique—it’s tradition and contemporary jewelry innovation.

This sterling silver belt buckle by Navajo jeweler

This sterling silver belt buckle by Navajo jeweler Vernon Haskie features a stunning thundercloud design, bold geometric precision, and a central turquoise stone set in a hand-cut serrated bezel. Four accent stones add symmetry, all framed in a domed form that brings the design to life.

Signed “VH” on the reverse, this piece carries the legacy of Vernon’s father, Leonard Haskie, and the elevated craftsmanship that defines his work.

This belt buckle by Navajo artists Carl and Irene

This belt buckle by Navajo artists Carl and Irene Clark showcases their signature micro-inlay mastery. Created over 42 years ago, it features the Navajo Moon God and a stylized Yei figure set in jet background. The micro fine inlay consists of turquoise, lapis, coral, mother of pearl, and shell—depicting a cosmic night sky. This early example of their work, it blends traditional Navajo symbolism with exceptional craftsmanship. Stamped with the Clarks’ hallmark and finished with hand-stamped silver design on the back.
Dimensions: 3″ 3/16th L X 2″ 3/16th
Belt: 1″ 3/4th
C. 1983
