Artist: Ray “Duck” Garcia (Red Earth Honored One 2025)
This pendant and ring set features the work of Ray “Duck” Garcia of San Felipe Pueblo, honored as the Red Earth Honored One for 2025. The pendant is a substantial statement piece built around a large Kingman turquoise cabochon. Six lapis lazuli stones surround the center stone, each set in sterling silver to create a strong and balanced arrangement. Garcia’s trademark scrollwork frames the composition, giving the piece a sculptural quality with clear attention to symmetry and movement.
The matching ring carries a smooth, polished lapis stone set in a clean sterling bezel. Its simplicity allows the pendant to take the lead while still providing a coordinated pairing. The deep blue of the lapis complements the turquoise in a way that highlights Garcia’s skill with color selection and proportion.
Together, the pendant and ring offer a bold presentation that blends classic Southwestern materials with Ray Garcia’s refined silversmithing style.
