Juror’s Comments:
Pam Lujan-Hauer: The quality of the coral and the evenness of the design struck me.
Bruce Bernstein: The belt is a beautiful assembly of many different techniques. Each concho is hand-built, and there’s amazing consistency over the eight pieces.The coral selection is gorgeous. There’s such precision in the way the bezels for the coral are cut. It’s amazing that it’s handmade.
