BO JOE

Bo Joe is renowned for his mastery of precious metals and gemstones, notably turquoise, with creations that come in the form of little, hand sculptures. Using traditional tufa casting, Bo draws upon his Diné and Ute descent. Growing up in a family that celebrated the arts, Bo landed on jewelry as his expression of choice following a successful career in music. Bo’s work has transcended into individual works of fine art — sculpture made to be worn. A oneness with his materials and observance of cultural tradition has led Bo to create masterworks in metal and stone.
