Meet The Artist
Meet Alta... Navajo Jewelry Artist
Alta has been making jewelry since she was a little girl, her hands discovering the joy of crafting under her mother’s patient guidance.
She credits her mother with teaching her the craft, a tradition that began in their home in Yah-Ta-Hey, New Mexico, where Alta would head to town after school to sell the jewelry they made together.
Continuing to hone her craft, Alta is now teaching her sons, passing down the skills with pride.
Alta is a true artist, working hard to source the best materials to create beautiful pieces that reflect her spirit.
Alta is from the Kinyaa’áanii (Towering House) Clan, a heritage she honors with every bead she strings, keeping the Diné legacy alive in her work.
Her specialty lies in crafting exquisite Turquoise earrings and bracelets, each piece showcasing incredible quality that captures the essence of her artistry.
Authentic Turquoise
With only 5 active turquoise mines left in the U.S.—led by the iconic Kingman Mine—much of today’s turquoise comes from past sources. Check the map… your piece may be rarer than you think.

Love my Turquoise and Gray Agate bracelet. Fits in well with my other Turquoise items I own from Arizona. Beautifully made! Can’t wait to wear it!
I love this beautiful bracelet so much, thank you Alta for making this awesome bracelet, I will treasure it, Pearls are my daughter's birthstone (June), I lost her 21 years ago.....
Turquoise is my favorite Quartz stone and the rest of the stones are gorgeous too!!
beautiful turquoise stones paired with the opalescent stones is a perfect pairing. I love the clean look of my sleeping beauty stones up against these faceted stones.
I like the design and overall size
Beautiful! Excellent craftsmanship.
Beautiful stones and Beautiful energy. One issue is it could be a little bigger. I have a big wrist and when putting it on and off I am afraid of breaking it.
Beautiful. I will be buying more jewelry soon.Thank you
