Lovato was one of the most acclaimed pueblo jewelers in the 20th century.

Starting his career making traditional earrings he evolved into one of the early native modernists while working at Frank Patania’s Thunderbird Shop.

Utilizing ever changing designs and exceptional quality stones he created in a three dimensional look which he called “raised dimensional jewelry design.”
