Loretta Delgarito

Loretta Delgarito, a truly gifted silversmith, began her journey as an artisan at just 14 in the 1970s, learning the craft from her cousin. Loretta's jewelry blends traditional Native American styles with a contemporary twist. She especially loves turquoise, as it reminds her of her grandmother, and her cluster designs represent family: the center stone for grandparents, surrounded by children and grandchildren.
