Sonoran Gold Turquoise stones set with an intricately stamped bale, sterling twist wire, and accent drops. Handmade by Navajo silversmith Etta Enditto of New Mexico.
RAINDROPS are seen frequently throughout Native American jewelry. Sterling silver drops or "raindrops" are a traditional design element. They can be smooth and highly polished or they can be starlike and oxidized.
TWISTED WIRE metalworking is a very old technique used by many Southwestern tribes. It can be found in both vintage and modern pieces.
SONORAN GOLD TURQUOISE Mined in Mexico near the city of Cananea this turquoise is relatively new to the industry. Unlike most turquoise Sonoran Gold is not mined in veins but rather as individual nuggets typically found in clay deposits. Accents of blue and gold against a green background make Sonoran Gold Turquoise a great selection for statement jewelry.
Etta Endito was born in the winter of 1961, to the Tanglewater & Bitterwater Clans. She learned her craft from her Mother, while growing up in Crownpoint NM. By the time she completed high school, Etta was already creating her own distinctive jewelry.
