Pat Pruitt is one of the more interesting and dynamic jewelry artists out there today.   From his studio/workshop outside Laguna Pueblo Pat chases his design muse using his very considerable tool and die making skills, working primarily in stainless steel and titanium at the moment.

This Pat Pruitt "casino" concha belt is an incredible work! Made of stainless steel embedded with dice and poker chipsfrom New Mexico tribal casinos, it's hefty to wear, but a wonderful example of imagination and craftsmenship. $18,000

The bracelet at left is made of titanium, a metal he uses very infrequently. .75 inch wide , it measures 5 inches with a 1 inch opening. Beautifully formed surface. $900. The stainless steel bracelet next to it, tongue-in-cheek dubbed his 'tipi bracelet' is an inch wide. It measures 5.25 inches with a 1 inch opening. $500.
