Sedalio Fidel Lovato (1929–1999) Sterling Silver Neckalce With Pendant

Sedalio Fidel Lovato (1929–1999) – Kewa (Santo Domingo) Silversmith Sedalio Fidel Lovato was a respected Kewa (Santo Domingo Pueblo) jeweler known for his handcrafted tufa cast silver work and precise turquoise inlay. Active primarily in the mid-20th century, Lovato signed his pieces with the hallmark “S.F.L.” His jewelry—often bracelets, cuffs, and concho belts—features bold forms, clean lines, and traditional Pueblo craftsmanship. This sterling silver pendant and chain showcase Lovato’s artistry, featuring a traditional corn stalk design inlaid with turquoise, coral, lapis, jet, and wood. Two sterling silver dangles accent the base of the pendant, adding movement and detail. The piece is signed S.F.L. on the reverse and reflects the cultural symbolism and technical skill that define Lovato’s legacy. Dimensions:  27″ L Removable Pendant: 4″ L X 1″ 3/16th W
