Our old friend Ray Lovato came by last week and brought another of his classic turquoise bead necklaces. This is created from Cripple Creek turquoise, which hails from a gold mining area in Colorado by the same name. As always, Ray has added one of his signature single beads in the cotton neck wrap to complete yet another fine piece of jewelry.
Ray Lovato - Lapidary Artist: Ray Lovato is America’s premier artist creator of hand-ground turquoise beads called heishi. A native Kewa speaker, Ray is from Santo Domingo Pueblo in New Mexico. Descended from a long line of jewelers, he learned the craft from his parents, Ike and Tonita Lovato, beginning his artistic career at age eleven.
