Carl W Luthey in the 1960s the 70s had excellent Navajo Silversmiths working for him making the jewelry that he designed. Much of his jewelry has the leaf and flower design that was so popular then. Some of the artists that worked with him were did very distinctive and recognizable work. Some of those artists were Luke Billy Yazzie and Louise and Ramone Platero.

The Carl Luthey Studio sign is a stick figure representing the designer instead of the maker. Sometimes, there will also be the artists sign as well. The head is a C, the arms are a W and the legs have an L in them. Carl passed away January 31, 1975 in Albuquerque, NM.

Ramone Platero, Diné (Navajo) is presumably the first Navajo smith to use the leaf in silver jewelry. He has been an active silversmith since the early 1970s. Ramon is the son of Pablo Platero; brother of Dan Platero; husband of Lousie Platero; father of 10 daughters, 3 sons.

Ramon‘s father was the famous Pablo Platero, one of the finest Navajo (Diné) silversmiths. Pablo taught his son, Ramone, who handmade his original tools.
