Artist: Ray “Duck” Garcia (Red Earth Honored One 2025)
This sterling silver bolo tie by Ray “Duck” Garcia of San Felipe Pueblo shows his signature blend of traditional Pueblo design and refined stone setting. The centerpiece features a deep blue Kingman turquoise cabochon measuring about 2 inches. The stone is framed in a clean bezel bordered by Garcia’s sculpted leaf and rope elements, which add depth and movement while keeping attention on the turquoise.
The bolo is set on a 21 inch braided black leather cord with polished handmade silver tips that add balance and weight. Garcia’s work is known for strong craftsmanship and cultural grounding. His recognition as the Red Earth Honored One in 2025 places this bolo within a significant period in his career and adds value for collectors of contemporary Pueblo jewelry.
