Part Apache and part German, artist Marc Antia was a self-taught silversmith with a jewelry career that spanned for decades. When he wasn’t masterfully working on new pieces, he often traveled across the United States to display his work at Native American jewelry and craft shows.
Marc gained a loyal following for his elaborate stamped jewelry. He often combined sterling silver and 14k gold to make pendants, rings, and cuffs. Despite the formality presented by his use of gold in Marc’s jewelry, the durability of his pieces is apparent; upon wearing, one immediately knows this is something that can take the abuse of a daily wear. And yet, they are surprisingly lightweight.
