This immersive gallery traces the remarkable story of American Indian jewelry across decades of innovation and tradition. From Earth to the Stars highlights the deep relationships between land, materials, and artistry, showing how American Indian jewelers have transformed stones and metals into objects of beauty and cultural meaning. From early silverwork to bold contemporary designs, the exhibition honors generations of creativity, resilience, and artistic mastery. Featuring masterworks by artists such as Preston Monongye, Jesse Monongya, Charles Loloma, Verma Nequatewa (Sonwai), and the Yazzie family, the gallery invites visitors on a journey through lineages of technique, design, and cultural expression—from the minerals of the earth to the brilliance of the stars.
