Kenneth Bitsie, Navajo
This is a stand-out piece of beautiful inlay work. The stone combination really pops. The picture jasper looks like the grain in wood, just stunning. This could be worn by a man or a woman.
Kenneth is one of the long time members of the consortium of artists that comprises Stoneweaver. Unlike most inlay shops (Supersmith and Calvin Begay, as examples), the Stoneweaver work is handmade not cast.
This is not a slam against either of them or their work, I carry Supersmith but handmade requires a lot more work.
The quality control is very high and the "bang for the buck" is fabulous when taking into account the materials and work required. There is a lot of attention to detail
