About Isabell Delgarito
Isabell Delgarito is a Native American jewelry artisan from New Mexico known throughout the trade for being especially pleasant to work with, bringing genuinely creative ideas to every piece she designs. Isabell has a particular fondness for beaded jewelry, and her turquoise bead necklaces stand out as some of her favorite and most distinctive work.
Beadwork of this kind, especially hand-strung turquoise bead necklaces, carries forward one of the oldest traditions in Southwest jewelry making, predating the introduction of silversmithing itself by many generations. Artists like Isabell who specialize in beading continue a lineage that connects directly back to some of the earliest known Native American ornamental traditions in the region.
