Dan Simplicio / Zuni
A beautiful assortment of pieces by Zuni Silversmith, Dan Simplicio. Currently available online and in gallery.
Simplicio (1917-1969) learned the art of jewelry making from his uncle, Juan DeDios, one of the earliest Zuni silversmiths. Although this World War II veteran only had about 30 short years of jewelry making, his talent and techniques are still recognized. Simplicio is one of the first known artists to begin incorporating natural red coral branches and rough-cut coral nuggets into his jewelry.
