Marco Begaye (Navajo, b. 1957) was born in Ganado, Arizona in 1957, growing up on the Navajo Reservation with his family of noted silversmiths such as his father Jimmy Begaye and brother Vernon Begaye, where he learned his craft. Marco is known for incorporating the traditional Navajo designs he learned form his family with contemporary styles, with beautiful stones and fine silver work. His superb craftsmanship, attention to detail and attractive designs have earned him recognition and numerous awards over the years.
