About Me

Saralyn Chee, a Navajo silversmith, carries forward an ancestral craft that intertwines heritage with artistry. Her silversmithing, a tradition deeply embedded in Navajo culture, is practiced with meticulous care at her workbench. Here, she shapes sterling silver by hand, setting it with vibrant turquoise and natural stones—each piece a testament to her patience and skill. Every design is unique, imbued with intention and respect for the traditions she upholds. More than a visual experience, her jewelry serves as a cultural dialogue, bridging generations through the quiet conversation between material, maker, and heritage. In her gallery, Saralyn creates a space of sharing, where history, creativity, and her personal story converge, inviting visitors to connect with the enduring strength of generations through her exquisite craftsmanship. Each creation is not merely adornment but a living narrative, honoring the past while illuminating the timeless beauty of Navajo artistry.
