ABOUT DELBERT:

Delbert's work demands a higher price than most & it's pretty obvious why.Considered a veteran "Master Navajo Artist" that has been at this now for decades & is the artist that has taught & helped pave the careers for many of today's traditional Navajo Gallup jewelers that you find on the market..Delbert is the 'go-to" guy & the one other silversmith's look up to when they need technique/inspiration.

Delbert's work is beyond extraordinary & stays true to his Navajo roots by staying undeniably,traditional.He is 'old school'for the fact that each & everything that goes into his intricate metal work is completely hand fabricated.

Jewelers that started back in the era he had,it was important to use only natural-premium stones for their jewelry & with so many mines now closed down & depleted,it's hard for someone who came out of that era to settle for anything less,especially when your reputation & name are on the line..

Delbert 1st hand picks his stones & then lets the stone(s) dictate the design..He never knows what he is going to make until the stone starts to 'speak' to him & then builds around it with the heavy gauge sterling & incorporating the most incredible ornate,embellished work..
