Gilbert Calavaza, a renowned Zuni artist, is celebrated for his intricate mosaic channel inlay work, often alongside his wife, Mildred. While he is Zuni, his pieces are sometimes associated with Navajo jewelry due to stylistic overlaps in Southwestern Native American craftsmanship. A notable example is a cuff with turquoise, coral, onyx, and agate inlay, showcasing a pueblo motif, hallmarked \"GMC STERLING\" (indicating Gilbert and Mildred Calavaza)

Gilbert Calavaza’s cuffs typically feature sterling silver with vibrant inlays of turquoise, Mediterranean coral, black onyx, agate, jet, spiny oyster, or mother of pearl. His designs often depict pueblo scenes or geometric patterns, reflecting Zuni artistry with a nod to Navajo aesthetics
