David Rosales Shalako Inlaid Sterling Silver Earrings

David Rosales, is one of the most respected contemporary jewelry designers working today. In 1997, he co-founded Supersmith Inc., bringing together a team of highly skilled Native American silversmiths and inlay artists to produce bold, fashion-forward designs that still honor deep cultural traditions.

David is known for his innovative use of stone combinations, blending materials like turquoise, sugilite, opal, lapis, black jade, and coral into intricate inlay patterns. His commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and cutting-edge style has helped shape the identity of David Rosales Designs, a premier Native jewelry brand recognized nationwide.

Today, his daughter Sheree Rosales Wright continues the legacy, leading Supersmith with both creative and operational oversight. Sheree has brought a fresh, modern perspective to the company while preserving its artistic integrity and commitment to Native artisan production.

Together, the Rosales family has elevated Native American jewelry to new heights—combining tradition with innovation, and empowering a team of Native artists whose work reflects pride, heritage, and excellence.

His work has been featured all over the country including Caesar's Palace, In-Style Magazine, Cowboy and Indian Magazine, Niche Magazine, Native People Magazine and has been seen on the Alley McBeal Show.

David has “handpicked” many of the talented Navajo and Zuni silver and goldsmiths that create each piece of jewelry by hand. Supersmith strives to exceed expectations of designs and quality in beautiful, wearable art. All David Rosales jewelry designs can be ordered in any stone color combination listed and/or in White Gold or 14K gold. Special order pricing will be provided upon request.
