The Zia sun is an ancient symbol, representing not only the sun but also the sacred number four. This sophisticated design references the four seasons, the four directions, the four periods of the day, the four segments of life, and the four sacred attributes the Zuni people seek to cultivate: devotion to the wellbeing of others, a strong body, a clean spirit, and a clear mind.

What better way to say "I love you" and to start your new life together then with a upcycled piece of jewelry that embraces the tradition of New Mexico in all its beauty and grace.

David Griego’s jewelry-making debut was in 1972.  With over four decades of satisfied customers throughout the world, Griego continues to build his company’s reputation by using only the finest gold and highest quality stones.

At Santa Fe Goldworks, we pride ourselves on crafting custom, inlay gold jewelry adorned with diamonds, turquoise, lapis and Australian Opals (to name a few). While many of our designs are born out of the imaginations of the expert jewelers, many of our pieces are rich with the symbolism of our land.

The Story:  David Griego began making jewelry on the kitchen table in his small apartment over forty years ago with an arsenal of simple tools and design ideas.  Over the years Griego’s jewelry, which includes rings, earrings, bracelets and pendants, has evolved into the contemporary styling of his now famous signature designs.
