Work by MAMUR RAKHMANOV

Uzbek women throughout the ages have adorned themselves with jewelry, not only for beautification and defining status, but also for protection from illness and the evil eye. Today, Mamur continues Uzbek traditions of producing finely made jewelry by incorporating designs of the past for decorative and ceremonial purposes.

Mamur uses both gold and silver and incorporates semi-precious stones to add bold, rich accents. He is famous for using fine filigree in many of his pieces. He was taught by one of the well-known jewelry masters of the region and owns his own shop where he produces and sells his wares.

The Santa Fe International Folk Art Market, a non-profit organization, produces the largest international folk art market in the world, and our success led to Santa Fe’s designation as a UNESCO City of Folk Art.
