CELEBRATING 350 YEARS OF TRADITION
Santa Fe’s beauty comes from its clear desert light, colorful history, and the fusion of cultures and customs found nowhere else on earth. Here, art is as much a part of the landscape as the piñon-studded hills and snow-capped mountains. Since 200 B.C., indigenous people of the southwest and Spanish settlers to the region have fashioned magnificent jewelry from priceless stones and metals.
Master goldsmith David Griego continues this tradition of fine workmanship designing one-of-a-kind jewelry that brings a contemporary flair to ancient designs. Locally born and raised, Griego established Santa Fe Goldworks in 1972 and over three decades has built the company’s reputation with meticulously crafted custom inlay gold wedding rings and earrings, pendants, and charms adorned with diamonds, turquoise, lapis, and Australian opals. Each piece is handmade by Santa Fe craftsmen from Griego’s original sketches in a painstaking process of pouring molten gold, cutting and fitting stone, sanding and polishing.
