Chris Nieto's jewelry is highly prized by collectors from around the world. Chris is a member of the Santo Domingo (Kewa) Tribe, was born in 1972 and always had a fascination for jewelry making. After his service in the US Army, Chris became a chef. But his passion for jewelry drew him to become a full-time jewelry maker in 2003. His grandparents, family & tribal members provided Chris' inspiration in making the unique pieces of jewelry. Very few artisans can make the type of inlay that Chris is famous for. His inlays are seamless and beautifully color coordinated. And, he uses only natural material, hand cut and polished.
