When silversmith Sarena Boyd was growing up in Ogden, her grandmother would come to visit with a box of handmade Navajo jewelry in hand. Boyd loved looking through the tiny chunks of strung turquoise, destined to be sold. They were the first seeds that grew into her jewelry career. “My Navajo roots stem from my dad's side,” she said. “When I found jewelry making, it was something that had been in my family.”

Years later, Boyd took a single jewelry making class at a rock shop — and immediately fell in love with the craft, buying her own supplies later that day. Since then, she’s been completely self-taught, learning metal work and lapidary skills as she went. Now, over a decade later, Boyd’s rings, necklaces and earrings are a reflection of her Navajo heritage, each artfully crafted around a piece of that background.

Don't miss your chance to meet her at this year's Indigenous Art Market & Festival, where you'll have the opportunity to see and shop her stunning creations.

Thank you to everyone who gave my items a new home! It means more to me than I can express. And thank you to @nhmu for having me and highlighting my work and my story! I feel truly honored and blessed. 💫 💘

I’m not sure if there is anyone who stills follows me that remembers when I used to make hexagons, but we’re so back baby. ✨🪶💘 by @sarenaboyd

I’ve been bringing a few of these to my last couple markets and they tend to sell out. I’m always running around like a crazy lady pre market and haven’t captured a photo to post. I’ll have 4 with me tomorrow. Get ‘em while they’re hot!! 🔥 by @sarenaboyd

To stay on theme with the Indigenous Art Market being held at the @nhmu, I made a few dinosaur bone pieces for all the dino lovers out there. ✨🦖🦕 by @sarenaboyd

✨ A new chapter ✨ Technically, not my first inlay but my first of this caliber and style. I was hoping it would be on par to sell at my next market, but it turns out, I’m not above a learning curve!! I’m still proud of the results and I’m looking forward to future inlay projects. 🪶💘💫 by @sarenaboyd
