Harrison Bitsui

Harrison Bitsui is a Navajo silversmith who specializes in traditional sandcast jewelry. He comes from a family of artists and began learning the craft from his grandfather, Charlie Bitsui, a respected silversmith in his own right. Harrison made his first pieces—rings and naja pendants—when he was just a child, and he’s been working in silver ever since.

He works primarily with the sandcasting method, a traditional Navajo technique where molten silver is poured into hand-carved tufa stone molds. This process gives each piece a unique texture and form. His jewelry often features bold, symmetrical designs and is frequently set with turquoise or other natural stones.

Harrison’s jewelry reflects a commitment to quality and tradition. Every piece is handmade using time-honored techniques, and his designs stay true to classic Navajo forms while incorporating his own style. His sandcast work is known for its clean lines, strong forms, and reliable craftsmanship.
