Donovan Cadman Navajo silver jewelry
Born in 1968 in Gallup, New Mexico, Donovan Cadman grew up in a creative jewelry environment of talented silversmith artists. His uncles, brothers Andy and Darrell, half-brothers Gary and Sunshine Reeves (now deceased) and nephews still create some of the finest Native American jewelry in the Southwest. Noteworthy, each of the brothers has his own beautiful style.

Donovan began creating unique sterling silver jewelry under his own name in 1991. The design of bracelets, pendants and rings includes natural motifs, birds and insects, which carry symbolism and can be amulets. Traditionally, the craftsman creates jewelry using sterling silver and natural stones such as turquoise and coral. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted with beautiful Navajo ornamentation.
The markings on the back of the products include “Donovan Cadman”, “Sterling” and the symbolic sign of a fish, meaning longevity and wisdom.
