Artist Information from Pueblo Direct:
Will Denetdale has grown to be one of today's most sought after silversmiths in the Navajo Community. His jewelry pieces typically feature intricate detail with fine silver work and exceptional stones. He loves to use uncommon stones and often incorporates contemporary designs with a traditional flair that reflects his personal style and expertise. He grew up in Fort Defiance, Arizona and attended high school in Gallup, New Mexico where he learned the silver smithing trade. He now lives in Arizona where he works from home constantly striving to elevate his already masterful artwork in silver and stone.
Pietersite is a unique and striking gemstone known for its captivating chatoyancy and vibrant color variations. It is a type of chalcedony, which is a variety of quartz, and is primarily composed of hawk’s eye and tiger’s eye, both of which are well-known gemstones in their own right. Pietersite was discovered relatively recently, in 1962, and is named after Sid Pieters, who first encountered the stone in Namibia. less
