La Rose Ganadonegro – Native American Jewelry Artist Profile

About La Rose Ganadonegro

La Rose Ganadonegro was born in 1956 in Crown Point, New Mexico, and began working in silver in 1984. She works alongside her husband, Archie Ganadonegro, as part of one of the more established husband-and-wife jewelry-making teams in the Southwest, with the couple's combined output spanning decades of collaborative craftsmanship.

Identifying La Rose Ganadonegro's Work

Her hallmark reads L. Ganado, echoing her husband's shortened "Ganado" mark while distinguishing her individual pieces with the added initial.

Style & Partnership

Working in tandem with Archie since the mid-1980s, La Rose's jewelry reflects the shared design sensibility that develops between two artists who have spent years creating alongside one another, while still maintaining her own distinct hallmark for pieces she makes independently.
