On August 15 and 16, Palace Jewelers at Manitou Galleries will present new jewelry pieces from renowned Hopi artist Don Supplee. The artist is often considered one of the top Native American jewelry makers working today.

New pieces that will be available include stunning bracelets, bolos, necklaces and earrings. Supplee’s use of the highest quality stones will be on full display as his pieces use turquoise stones, coral, sugilite and even diamonds. His mastery of silver will also be apparent as he unveils unique new shapes and designs.

Born in Ganado, Arizona, Supplee has always been deeply rooted in his Hopi heritage. Inspired by his surroundings, the artist initially started his career as a chef before watching his older brother, the late Charles Supplee, make jewelry. From that moment on, Supplee had an eye for jewelry.
“It is an immense honor to host a show for the renowned Hopi jeweler, Don Supplee. His unique ability to blend contemporary high-end fashion with Native American symbolism is truly unparalleled,” says Tsali Hall, director at Palace Jewelers. “Don’s humility and unassuming nature make his incredible talent all the more inspiring. His natural eye for design, combined with his use of precious stones and metals, elevates his work to the pinnacle of artistry.”
