Jurors' Comments:
Shonto: I admired the detail and detachment. It's challenging to make a set of jewelry that is a unit.
Ramson: I was real impressed by the workmanship - to get small details to work like that in inlay you have to have a good eye. It's a meticulous process to get the stones to fit as close as they are. I loved the imagery and the selection of stones did justice to the images. Jennifer: (of the Runner Up, Pueblo 5 Deco Shell Form Bracelet) This is beautiful inlay work, excellent in terms of craftsmanship as well as placement and color of stones.
