If price didn't matter...which artist would you want most?

Has a particular item grabbed you? His/her style in general? A big name just because it’s sought after by others?

Great question! I like older pieces, so I’d go with Ambrose Roanhorse. Something like this buckle. :slightly_smiling_face:

Contemporary work? Perry Shorty. :+1:

stumbled on this one night and my minds eye immediately flashed back to the stonework of the ancient Inca Walls in Cusco, Peru.

Clarence Chama, Navajo (deceased I was told - not the Santo Domingo artist with the same name), I have a few of his pieces and love them. I bought these cuffs years ago, and they’re still some of my faves:

Thank you! They’re prettier in person (and heavy too). I think there must be a stone from every mine out there in these cuffs.

Love those cuffs. If I could have a piece made, I’d like to have a rainbow piece with the range of blues and greens of turquoise in a row. I should start collecting stones.
