Ella Peter
Ella Peter, a talented Navajo silversmith, was born on April 2, 1943, in the Tsa-ya-toh area of New Mexico on the Navajo reservation. From a young age, she learned the art of jewelry making and basket weaving from her father. With over 45 years of experience, Ella has honed her skills to become a master silversmith. She currently resides in Mentmore, New Mexico, where she continues to create beautiful pieces of jewelry.
Carico Lake Turquoise:
The Carico Lake mine, named after the dried-up lake bed in Nevada where this unique material is extracted, produces a diverse range of turquoise colors, from dark blues to light greens, with some stones featuring yellow or dark blue "water" webbing. The most sought-after variety is the intense apple green material, identified as faustite—a cousin of turquoise that contains higher levels of zinc, resulting in its vibrant color. Read More
