  • Watson Honanie Hopi Native American Sterling Silver 14k Gold Butterfly Earrings
    Located in San Diego, CA
    Watson Honanie, Award Winning Hopi Silver and Goldsmith was the first Native American silversmith to combine both gold and silver in the same jewelry design. He's been doing this for over 30 years. He first came to the general public's attention in the late 1980's when he was featured in the Lois and Jerry Jacka's book, Beyond Tradition.
