Effie Calavaza
Posted by NATIVEAMERICAN JEWELRY
The work of Calavaza is easily identified by her recurring symbolism – a snake portrayed in her jewelry. Effie specializes in incorporating large stones. Her snake designs are known as her signature style. In Zuni belief, the snake is a positive sign of rebirth and renewal. She began making jewelry in the mid-1950s after learning jewelry making from her husband, Juan Calavaza. Effie won an award at the Inter-tribal Indian Ceremonial in Gallup, New Mexico. Effie also went to the Supreme Court of the USA to obtain full copyright of her art work to stop those from importing fake pieces of her work. Effie's work is collected throughout the world.
