From the Collection of John and Doris Curran
Every summer for 22 years, John and Doris Curran made the long drive from Indiana to Santa Fe where they befriended artists like Lewis, Sophie, and Peggy Lomay. While visiting with their friends on these trips, the Currans cultivated a passion and love for southwestern jewelry and culture that is evident in the pieces that they collected. As beautiful as these individual pieces are, the lasting friendships built with each of the artists were the ultimate memento for the Currans during their travels.
