Don Dewa began making jewelry in 1970, and by the early 1990s he started to produce mosaic inlay, having learned it from his mother-in-law, Loretta Quam Eriacho. His work can be found in just about every Native American jewelry reference book. One of Don's most innovative and distinctive designs is his sunface "spinner" rings, pendants and bracelets, like the pendant for sale here. Don Dewa's work is amazing!
