Signed by the artist. Sampson (Sam) Gray was born in 1964. His father was from the Zuni Pueblo and his mother was Navajo. Whether Sam is creating a Zuni-inspired Shalako pendant or a traditional Navajo bracelet, you can be sure that the piece is one-of-a-kind and museum-quality. He is known for his use of heavy gauge sterling silver and quality stones. When Sam is not making wonderful pieces of Native American jewelry, he spends time on his ranch near the Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico tending to his cattle and riding horses. Quantity Available: 1
