September 2015: Kenneth Begay jewelry from the Foutz Collection

Legendary Navajo jeweler Kenneth Begay not only taught technique to other jewelers at the White Hogan in Phoenix, AZ, he also innovated some of the most elegant and modern designs still adapted to this day by artists such as the split wire cuff. Shiprock Trading Post owner Ed Foutz, father of Jed Foutz, worked directly with Kenneth and purchased hundreds of his works over the years. This collection is the available works from Ed's personal collection offered for the first time since the 1960's exclusively through Shiprock Santa Fe gallery.
