Navajo jeweler Marie Lee creates original pieces, elegantly incorporating traditional Navajo jewelry ideas with a fresh perspective. She started creating her quality pieces 15 years ago and is captivating new collectors daily. Marie has resided in Albuquerque, NM since 1982, originally from Wide Ruins, AZ, Navajo Reservation. Marie finds a joy in jewelry making in her free time. Her refined Naja pendants and bracelets are made by traditional casting of molten silver into hand-carved tufa stone. She was exposed to old style jewelry design and self-taught these skills. Her collectors are very flattered by her style of elegantly stringed necklaces combining Natural Mediterranean Red Coral, Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, heishi shells and Pearls. With her exacting standards of quality and careful selection of these treasures of Mother Earth, Marie creates one-of-a-kind pieces with a combination of contemporary and traditional collectible and wearable Navajo jewelry.
