Navajo Inlay Silversmith Earl Plummer to Display Work
New Mexico-based Diné (Navajo) inlay silversmith Earl Plummer will make an annual trip to Kennebunkport to display his work at Home & Away Gallery on June 9 and 10. Mr. Plummer is of the Water and Salt Clans and was born in New Mexico in 1975. He has been making jewelry for almost half his life, having been taught while still in his mid-teen years by his parents and other relatives.
Plummer’s fully inlaid link choker won first prize at the Gallup Intertribal Ceremonial in New Mexico in 2005. Original designs such as this choker are what draw people to his jewelry. Gallery owner David Shultz says: “When Earl comes to Kennebunkport, visitors to the gallery are wowed by the quality and beauty of his work. We have a hard time keeping his jewelry in stock, because it is in such high demand here and across the country.”
