Zuni silversmith, Dan Simplicio (1917-1969) learned the art of jewelry

making from his uncle, Juan DeDios, one of the earliest Zuni

silversmiths. Although this World War II veteran only had about 30 short

years of jewelry making, his talent and techniques are still

recognized. Simplicio is one of the first known artists to begin

incorporating natural red coral branches and rough-cut coral nuggets

into his jewelry. As early as 1931, it is also said that he is possibly

one of the first Zuni artists to begin using gold. Simplicio worked at

C.G. Wallace’s trading post and collaborated with amazing Zuni artists

including Leekya Deyuse, Teddie Weahkee, Leo Poblano, Bernard Homer and

Lee Edakkie. Throughout his time, he developed an inapt ability to

create stunning leaf motifs with intricate stamps and carved details,

beginning his signature balance of delicate leaf work and heavy

turquoise and coral designs.
