About Michael & Rosita Calladitto

Michael Calladitto, raised in the village of Pruitt, New Mexico, draws his inspiration from the rich landscapes surrounding him throughout his life. He was born into the Meadow People Clan, with Apache ancestry on his father’s side.

Brought up by his grandparents, Michael's connection to nature and the land is deeply woven into his jewelry-making process. His grandmother, a natural healer, took him on journeys to remote areas, shaping his connection to the natural world. This close relationship with both family and nature remains at the heart of his creative process.

Rosita Calladitto works alongside her husband, sharing a deep respect for the traditions and values of their Navajo heritage. Together, they are committed to producing high-quality jewelry that showcases their skills and dedication to craftsmanship.
