Loretta Delgarito

Loretta Delgarito is one of our most talented artists, and it’s a pleasure to collaborate with her. She began her jewelry-making journey in the 1970s at the young age of 14, learning the art of silversmithing from her cousin. After school, they would spend hours creating jewelry together, often until late at night. This early passion has blossomed into a lifelong dedication to her craft.

Now working from home, Loretta appreciates the flexibility it offers, allowing her to watch her grandchildren grow. Her son, Fernando, is also learning the art form, developing his skills and becoming a true artist in his own right.

Loretta has a special fondness for turquoise, as it reminds her of her grandmother. Her jewelry style combines traditional techniques with a contemporary twist. She explains that her cluster-style pieces symbolize family, with the center representing the grandparents and the surrounding stones representing their children and grandchildren.

In addition to her work, Loretta enjoys playing bingo with Fernando and spending time with her grandchildren. She has established herself as a top silversmith in Albuquerque, having worked with Felley Inc. until she returned to our area to care for her ailing mother. Since rejoining us in 2011, we have greatly enjoyed Loretta's fabulous designs and her creative spirit.

Kingman Turquoise - Arizona

The Kingman Mine, located near Kingman, Arizona, is an active turquoise mine that has been in production since the 1880s, following its discovery by S.A. Colbaugh in the Aztec Mountains. The Colbaugh family continues to mine, process, sort, and distribute Kingman Turquoise. Most Kingman Turquoise is porous and requires processing for jewelry, with only about 3% of the stones being naturally hard enough for direct use. The mine is renowned for its blue matrix turquoise.

Understanding Our Measurements

Inside circumference measurements listed for cuff bracelets represent the total inside circumference, including the gap. When selecting a cuff bracelet, keep in mind that the gap allows for some flexibility in sizing, as cuffs can be gently adjusted for a more comfortable fit. Cuffs with multiple stones may be adjustable on a case-by-case basis. If the listed measurements do not meet your needs, we recommend inquiring about adjustability before purchasing. Improperly adjusting cuffs can compromise the stone settings.

When Can I Expect My Order to Ship?

Am I Buying Authentic Native Jewelry?

We prioritize honesty and transparency regarding the origin of our jewelry. Each piece on our site includes a detailed description, and if an item is not native-made, we clearly indicate that. While we do offer a small selection of imported jewelry, we do not support the importation of pieces that replicate original native designs.
