Sonwai Wood Turquoise Lapis Lazuli Silver and Yellow Gold Height Inlay Cuff 2020
About the Item
Ebony, Vermillion wood, Lone Mountain turquoise, lapis lazuli, yellow gold and sterling silver height inlay cuff, with stones and wood set in and raised up at once, by Sonwai, Native American, Hopi, 2020.
Inner circumference 5.25" with 1.1" opening.
Sonwai began working with her uncle, the great twentieth-century modernist artist and master jeweler Charles Loloma, as his apprentice in the 1960s. She became a leading female master goldsmith and lapidary in her own right, an extraordinary achievement in communities where mainly men made jewelry. Though her birth name is Verma Nequatewa, she works under the artistic name Sonwai, which means beautiful, the feminine counterpart to Loloma in the Hopi language.

- Charles Loloma Vintage Lapis Coral Turquoise Gold Height Inlay Ring c. 1975By Charles LolomaLocated in New York, NYA superb, authentic lapis lazuli, coral, turquoise, and 18 karat gold height inlay ring, by Charles Loloma, c. 1975. Signed Loloma, stamped 18k. Ring size 6. This ring is an exceptional example of Loloma's innovative artistic lens. Here he developed "height inlay" - he fully explored the use of height as a transformative aesthetic value, using stones of different heights, to create an inlay design. He uses gold and lapis lazuli as central color elements when both were non-traditional materials in Hopi and even the broader world of Native American jewelry. Yet, he maintains his links with tradition by incorporating turquoise and coral. Hopi artist Charles Loloma was one of the most influential modernist artists of the 20th century. He was a potter, a jeweler, a painter, a muralist, a poet, and a religious ceremonial leader. Loloma broke multiple prohibitions on Native American jewelers and despite being excluded in his early years from major juried shows because his jewelry was not considered ïndian enough" he changed the arc of southwestern Native American jewelry making forever. And Loloma insisted, if he was an Indian, his jewelry was Indian. Loloma transformed the design and lapidary techniques - height inlay, styles of shanks and bezel settings, and the use of new materials - lapis lazuli, wood, gold - in much of southwestern Native American jewelry. Loloma's pieces can be found in most major museums interested in jewelry and in important private collections. Mahnaz Collection carries the finest Loloma jewelry (and select artworks) as well as the jewel works of his only two acknowledged proteges - his niece Verma Nequetewa aka Sonwai, and Evelie Sabatie...Category
