Two generations. One vision in stone and metal. T 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.

A masterpiece of craftsmanship and natural history A masterpiece of craftsmanship and natural history. We were honored to place this museum-quality necklace by Raymond Yazzie into a private collection. The necklace features rare fossilized Lone Mountain turquoise, formed when turquoise replaced a crinoid stem fossil—creating an organic pattern unlike any other. Yazzie’s precision is on full display in the two gold beads, each inlaid with micro-fine opal, fossil turquoise, coal, and lapis, and sugilite. The colors elevate the deep blue-green stones. Raymond Yazzie is known as one of today’s most exceptional Native jewelers—his work blends innovation, cultural tradition, and unparalleled artistry. Have a significant piece you’re looking to sell?

With a bold rectangular face inlaid with turquoise, lapis, coral, sugilite, and jet—each stone floats like a celestial body across a deep night-sky of jet inlaid backdrop. Gold accents, including a micro-star and square, bring a polished brightness and balance to the tufa cast texture design. The inlay is set within serrated bezels atop a tufa-cast sterling silver band, combining traditional technique with contemporary vision. Size 8 — can be sized. Dimensions: 1 1/16″ L x 3/16″ tapering to 1/4″ W Boyd Tsosie’s artistry lies in his geometry, his precision, and the intentional asymmetry that gives each piece its character.
