Simplicio, Dan

(Zuni, 1917-1969). His work is the most distinctive of all the Zuni silversmiths. He was best known for setting nuggets of turquoise and uncut branches of coral into silver, though he also did some inlay work. His pieces often show stamped silver balls interspersed among the stones. His later pieces are sometimes hallmarked, though his unique style makes identifying his work relatively easy even without the hallmark. (His family worked in a similar style for some time after his death, but using lighter silver and lesser turquoise.)
