Mary Ellen Pease
Mary Ellen Pease truly embodies the spirit of the "WILLIE" family legacy, standing at the center of a remarkable lineage of Navajo silversmiths who have earned recognition in the jewelry world. Her children, including Ronnie, Lonnie, Rudy, Juan, and Melissa Willie, have each contributed their own artistic talents, while her grandchildren, such as Tawney, Cooper, Dakota, and Shamenika Willie, continue to carry the family tradition forward.
Lonnie, often described as the "Maestro" of the family, played a pivotal role in teaching the craft to his siblings and mother, providing a foundation of knowledge that continues to evolve through years of hands-on experience. His skill and mentorship have undoubtedly been key in shaping the family's success, ensuring that the art of Navajo silversmithing remains alive and thriving within the Willie family for generations to come.
Onyx
Onyx is a captivating variety of gemstone that originates from chalcedony, a silicate mineral primarily composed of calcite, similar to marble and granite. Onyx forms naturally from calcite in caves and bedrock openings worldwide. We exclusively use the black variation in our jewelry. Read More
