About Artie Yellowhorse: Sisters Gloria and Artie Yellowhorse were born and raised on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona. They are part of the Towering House Clan and are third generation silversmiths. Their Grandfather, Cuthair Yellowhorse, initiated the Yellowhorse family tradition of working with silver and turquoise.

Known for their creative designs, high-quality stones and unswerving excellence in fabrication, this talented family creates a whole array of jewelry which has a distinctive style that is easily recognizable. One of the wonderful features of the Yellowhorse jewelry is the complementary designs which make it easy to mix and match designs and stones. Working in gold and silver, their jewelry includes contemporary and classic looks.

Artie has built a successful jewelry business today, providing the opportunity for a staff of Navajo and Pueblo jewelers to produce the Yellowhorse Family designs, as well as their own work. Gloria's son Richard (known as Little Yellowhorse) and Artie's two daughters, Desiree and Lei Lani, are also involved in the business.

"Making jewelry is hard work," says Gloria who travels cross country to represent the family business. "Our reward is the feeling of pride and satisfaction of the finished piece of jewelry. The joy and beauty of Navajo jewelry contributes to the wearer and helps in understanding the Navajo concept of 'Walk with Beauty'."
