Shop from a Wide Range of Carl and Irene Clark Jewelry

The Clarks are considered among the most talented contemporary Navajo artists, sought after for their micro-mosaic inlays and uniquely designed Indian style jewelry. Every piece they craft contains some hundreds, if not thousands of tiny pieces of individual stones, making them very famous across the globe, for their intricate pieces. They have been recognized with practically every award in the book and are truly among the most notable names in the native Indian jewelry scene.

Carl and Irene Clark are best known for the fine quality and detail of their micro fine inlay jewelry. Their body of work include some of the most intricately inlaid turquoise bracelets, earrings, pendants and rings, each, with carefully arranged micro-pieces of precious stones, set in beautiful fabricated gold and/or silver.

A true team, Carl and Irene always work together, handcrafting each piece of beautiful jewelry. Both are skilled in cutting, assembling, and inlaying stones, but it is Irene that does most of the design work and hand-fabrication of gold and silver settings. Carl offers his expertise in tufa stone casting. Just like many other Navajo artists, you will find a distinct stamp on most of Irene and Carl's work, which is something you should look for to make sure you are getting the real deal from your supplier. Shopping for authentic handmade jewelry from prominent Native American artists should be done with utmost caution, so make deals only with legitimate suppliers and distributors of pieces from your favorite jewelers.

Carl and Irene's work have many distinct features and they often incorporate traditional designs and distinct Navajo figures like the Yei figure. Both from the water clans, the Clarks use the water symbol as their trademark. These talented jewelers have been making beautiful pieces since 1974.

Bruce Morgan Jewelry: Exquisite Gold Overlay

Bruce Morgan is known for his stunning gold overlay jewelry pieces, particularly his storyteller bracelets, which depict the pastoral scenes he experiences as he lives and works in the beautiful desert South-west.  His work is impeccably clean and his signature stamp work is very distinctive in his pieces. Bruce's work has a huge following of collectors from all over the world because of their beauty and versatility. He has been an artist since the 70s and is still making waves in the Navajo jewelry scene with his passion for creating simple, yet elegant, gold over silver bracelets, rings, bolas, earrings and belt buckles. A true cowboy artist, Bruce tends to his horses and his ranch when not creating beautiful masterpieces in his smithing workshop.

Most of Bruce's pieces use gold over sterling silver. His designs mostly depict scenes from the Navajo history, particularly his storyteller pieces.

He is known for his unique patterns, including the signature basket weave design, which can be seen in many of his works.
