Navajo silversmith Marie Jackson was born in Ganado, Arizona. Marie got her start as an artist after she was exposed to demonstrations of Navajo rug weaving. Both she and her husband Tommy Jackson create beautifully hand-crafted pieces of art using various techniques.
Internationally known Navajo jewelry designer Tommy Jackson, from Chinle, Arizona, learned the art of silversmithing from his parents, Martha and Gene Jackson. He is known for merging traditional Navajo designs with modern-day aesthetics in his dynamic jewelry.

These stunning mollusks are harvested by hand, which is both grueling and risky. Add a pop of color to your wardrobe with this special gem!
