After graduating from Arizona State University, at age 27 Curtis learned silverwork from his uncle Robert Yellowhair and honed his skills. Reflecting his own Hopi and Navajo heritage, he established his own jewelry in a combination of stampwork and overlay work, and won numerous awards at art shows in the 1990s while creating traditional-style jewelry. He then stepped back from that front line himself and now explores his own jewelry style while traveling around the United States by motorcycle. This butterfly ring is a “LONGBRANCH x Curtis Pete” collaboration design based on the Sugar Skull ring we already sell, with the top design changed from the sugar skull to a stampwork butterfly design. Material: Sterling silver Dimensions: Japanese ring size 19; height 2.7 cm; width 2.4 cm (butterfly design section); weight 37 g Artist: Curtis Pete (Navajo and Hopi)
