About Lucille Calladitto
Lucy Calladitto was born in Smith Lake, New Mexico and lived there her entire life within an American Indian lifestyle deeply connected to her community and heritage. She started making her own silver jewelry in her teens, learning from her Native American mother before her mother passed away. What began as a way to preserve that connection eventually became a career, as Lucy turned to silver work professionally in order to support her children.
