Artist/Tribe: Charlie John (Navajo)

Charlie started jewelry in 1968. He lives very close to the Hopi reservation in AZ. His overlay jewelry is a mixture of both Hopi and Navajo designs. Many of his designs come from his traditional lifestyle. His cut-out work and contrast of color is very amazing.
