Sonwai is the artist name of Verma Nequatewa, a Native American jeweller who worked with her uncle, the renowned jeweller Charles Loloma, before establishing herself in her own right in the late 1980s. She was born in 1949 and grew up on the Hopi reservation in Arizona where she still lives today and which she credits with influencing much of her work. “Charles taught that beauty is all around us on Hopi; in the environment, in the culture, in ceremony. By combining elements from what is a part of my everyday life, the finest of ideas, with the finest of materials, I can interpret a part of Hopi for people to see and wear.” Nequatewa is widely recognized as one of the leading Native American lapidary artists and jewellers working today. Her elegant and colourful jewellery can be found in select galleries, museums and private collections around the world and we are very excited to be one of those select few and offering these one-of-a-kind masterpieces.
