About the Artist: Leonard Nez
About the Artist: Leonard Nez
Born in Keams Canyon, Arizona in 1956, Leonard Nez quickly established himself as a prominent jeweler after his wife, Marian, a skilled Navajo silversmith, taught him the craft. His first pendant led to numerous commissions, allowing him to support himself through his jewelry making within a year.
Leonard Nez is renowned for his expertise in heavy-gauge silver and gold, with a signature style that features fine chisel and stamp work, deeply grooved sterling silver overlay, and a blend of traditional and contemporary designs, including detailed scrollwork and classic feather motifs.
