Joel Pajarito is part of a well known family of silversmiths and stone inlayers of Kewa Pueblo, New Mexico. Taught the creative arts by his great-grandfather, Leo Santiago Coriz, his grandmother, Mary Coriz Lovato, and his father, Anthony Lovato of Kewa Pueblo. Using soft tufa stone to cast sterling silver pieces is a classic element in his family's work, and he carries that tradition. Joel also inherited the link design from his great-grandfather Leo and he continues this beautiful style of jewelry making today.
