J. Michael Rosetta: A Fusion of Heritage and Innovation
J. Michael Rosetta brings a uniquely multicultural perspective to the world of fine jewelry, informed by his Native American, Italian, and Hispanic heritage. While he shares the renowned Rosetta name and Kewa Pueblo affiliation with historic heishi masters Nick and Me-Wee Rosetta, Michael has carved a distinct artistic path defined by a bold, contemporary aesthetic.
Moving beyond traditional beadwork, Rosetta is celebrated for his substantial, mosaic-style pieces that utilize high-grade turquoise, shell, and other natural stones. His work is characterized by its architectural weight and meticulous inlay, resulting in sophisticated, unisex designs that bridge the gap between ancestral tradition and modern art. Based between Albuquerque, Texas, and Kewa Pueblo, his creations are a testament to the vibrant, evolving spirit of Pueblo craftsmanship.
