The Patania Family is a famous name in the Southwest Jewelry business. Although the Patania family is non-native, they have had tremendous influence in Southwest jewelry design. Their name is mentioned in many Native American Indian books! Some of their jewelry is represented in the permanent collection at the Smithsonian Institute.
