Avery Aguilar

As a Pueblo man, I recognize the importance of jewelry making as each of my family members found their passions in their own designs and techniques ranging from silversmithing, lapidary, and shell inlay work. It was not until I enrolled in a “silver 101” class while in high school at the Santa Fe Indian School that I established an interest in jewelry making through the means of silversmithing and lapidary work. Since then, I have developed my own style in which I specialize in creating silver overlay designs and inlaying precious stones in the channels created. All designs are hand drawn, cut from a sheet of sterling silver, and soldered together creating one single piece to work with. The strenuous process takes time and a great deal of focus in order to create the works of art you see on my platforms.
