Blue Ribbon Awarded Jewelry Designs by Aaron Anderson

Third generation silversmith, Aaron Anderson, is notable for using his signature tufa casting and sand casting methods to craft one-of-a-kind silver jewelry. He started learning the art as a child by helping his stepfather, Wilfred Henry, and his mother, Evelyn Anderson, create beautiful jewelry. He is known for his ability to blend traditional ideas with contemporary styles, with his most prominent creations having raised inlay to easily capture attention. Some of his award-winning creations feature gem grade coral and turquoise, too. Every time he sells a piece, he includes hands the carved tufa stone over to collectors to emphasize the uniqueness of the product.

Aaron Anderson has won a lot of Blue Ribbons in major shows. Some of his prominent awards include eight ‘best in casting’ at the Gallup Intertribal Ceremonial. Most of his creations can be found at the Native Jewelers Society and during the Santa Fe fine art market. If you have no time to drop by, you always have the option to browse and buy one or more of his Blue Ribbon awarded jewelry designs online. 

Bracelets and other forms of jewelry created by Aaron Anderson are sold by authorized online retailers. Reputable sellers provide a certificate of authenticity with every piece to assure every collector the name and tribal affiliation of the artist, as well as the retail value of the item and the materials he used in it.

Aaron Anderson is currently carving at Manuelito Studio together with other famous tufa casting artists like Darryl Dean and Philander Begay. One of his latest creations is an 18K gold over tufa cast sterling silver bracelet that features a Canyon de Chelly design and a rare gem grade Bisbee turquoise as the centerpiece. He and Darryl Dean Begay crafted the bracelet, and it is known to be a rare, one-of-a-kind piece with an unusual design—thus increasing its popularity with avid collectors. The bracelet celebrates the historical event where Spanish explorers delved into Canyon De Chelly towards the end of the 1600s. The turquoise symbolizes the importance of the event, as the stone itself is sacred to Navajos. Inside the bracelet are crosses to symbolize loss of life due to the conflict, which occurred during the event.
