Augustine and Rosalie Pinto were the last of the great Zuni Silversmiths who worked by hand without the use of electricity. They specialized in Mosaic Inlay… a style created in Zuni by Teddy Weahkee . Mosaic Inlay is much like a puzzle, inlaying one piece against another without using silver channels for support. As a result Mosaic Inlay is light weight and fragile. Augustine and Rosalie Pinto began producing jewelry in 1950’s and worked into the 1970’s.
