Thank you so much for<br>your time and consideration!<br><br>Zuni silversmith, Dan Simplicio (1917-1969) learned the art of jewelry making<br>from his uncle, Juan DeDios, one of the earliest Zuni silversmiths. Although<br>this World War II veteran only had about 30 short years of jewelry making, his<br>talent and techniques are still recognized. Simplicio is one of the first known<br>artists to begin incorporating natural red coral branches and rough-cut coral<br>nuggets into his jewelry. As early as 1931, it is also said that he is possibly<br>one of the first Zuni artists to begin using gold. Simplicio worked at C.G.<br>Wallace’s trading post and collaborated with amazing Zuni artists including<br>Leekya Deyuse, Teddie Weahkee, Leo Poblano, Bernard Homer and Lee Edakkie.<br>Throughout his time, he developed an inapt ability to create stunning leaf<br>motifs with intricate stamps and carved details, beginning his signature balance<br>of delicate leaf work and heavy turquoise and coral designs.<br><br>All precious metals are tested and guaranteed, any Native American jewelry<br>referred to as Silver or Sterling is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90% (coin)<br>silver and possibly higher content. Anything marked is guaranteed to be what<br>it's marked, most bracelets are photographed on a 6" wrist (non hairy), rings<br>photographed on the appropriate sized finger when possible. With bracelets if<br>the measurement is not given in the description then inside circumference is<br>shown where the metal meets the number on the the cloth tape measure.
