I met Fernando in Tuscon AZ 16 years ago when he was beginning his journey as a young artist. I fell in love with his jewelry and bought several pieces from him at that time. I had the privilege of seeing him again yesterday, 16 years later, at the Cave Creek AZ Stagecoach Festival. Although I had seen some of his work displayed online, I was not prepared for the beauty of his creations. His sensitivity and spirituality are reflected beautifully in his jewelry...as well as in his conversation. Im now the proud owner of another Fernando Benally masterpiece : ).

Love Fernando’s pieces! Have several from previous years at the Eiteljorg Museum’s Indian Market in Indianapolis.
