Description
Lorenzo Juan
Navajo
Lorenzo Juan was born on October 6, 1954. He currently lives in Church Rock, New Mexico and works out of Gallup, New Mexico. He is a Navajo silversmith, who loves what he does. He has been silversmithing for 42 years since 1969.
His first creations were making beaded silver work, and other easy lower end jewelry, because of the lack of knowledge and experience at the time. Since then he has come a long way into making more complicated high end work. The style of jewelry that he enjoys making the most right now is the petroglyph overlay, which he takes his time making, because “in the end it is worth the time, if done right, it looks amazing!”
