Michael Calladitto
Michael Calladitto is renowned for his traditional Navajo-style jewelry, characterized by the use of sterling silver and turquoise, featuring intricately stamped designs. He has a deep appreciation for turquoise, believing that the stone enhances his creativity and skill at the bench. Most of the decorative stamps he employs in his jewelry are handcrafted from tempered steel sourced from old car engines. Michael repurposes components like piston rods and valve stems, meticulously cutting designs into the steel with tiny files and other tools to create his unique stamps.
Raised in the village of Pruitt, New Mexico, Michael is a member of the Meadow People Clan and has Apache heritage as well. Primarily brought up by his grandparents, he draws inspiration from the wild and remote landscapes his grandmother, a respected natural healer, introduced him to during his childhood.

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.
