PATRICIA McCLEERY DESIGN ~
AN ANCIENT MESSAGE RETOLD IN MODERN TERMS

I have always been fascinated with the amulets and talismans of ancient cultures. The ancient cliff dwellings of the Southwest inspired me to use Prehistoric Mammoth tusk, and Australian Boulder Opal in combination with silver and 22K gold to create pieces that connect us to a mysterious ancient message.

Celebrated in Santa Fe for her innovative designs, Patricia studied with famed Hopi Jeweler Charles Loloma and designed for the Smithsonian Catalog. Lapidary Journal, American Style Magazine and the Santa Fean have noted her work. Explore her 2009 Collection at these fine galleries:
