Sidney Nez, Jr. (Navajo) is from Shiprock, New Mexico and was born and raised in the state. He initially learned to silversmith as a hobby in the 1980's, but it quickly turned into a second career as many people began admiring his work. He is self taught and learned through trial and error. He still creates all of his work in a small shop in Shiprock, New Mexico. He has worked hard to make his original jewelry in the simplest and purest way possible. All of his pieces are handmade from start to finish.
