Roy Talahaftewa

I do gold and silver work. Hopi silversmith doing Hopi overlay as well as Tufa casting. My work is more on the contemporary side of jewelry. The materials being used in my jewelry are Turquoise, Ivory, Lapis, Black Jade, wood and Coral. My jewelry is done in three different styles making it more unique in the Hopi style.
