Silversmith & Lapidary · High Desert Studio, New Mexico
Marcus Redcloud
A silversmith renowned for hand-stamped sterling work and museum-grade turquoise settings.
The Story
Marcus apprenticed for nine years before striking his own hallmark. He hand-selects every turquoise cabochon for matrix and depth of color, then builds each bezel from flat sterling stock — sawing, filing, stamping and polishing entirely by hand. His stamp designs are cut into tool steel in his own forge, which means no two of his pieces share the same texture.
