Edward King — Navajo Silversmith

Name-card placeholder — hallmark imagery to follow. © Turquoise Skies Inc.

Edward King is a Navajo silversmith known for gold-filled buckles and pendants set with turquoise and coral, with leaf motifs. The Hougart record notes that he shared stamps with Jimmie King Jr., indicating a family connection — Jimmie King Jr. (active 1970s–2017) used channel and mosaic inlay and his wife was Rita King. Edward King, Jimmie King Jr., and Rita King appear to be related within the King family of Navajo silversmiths, though exact relationships are not specified in the available source record.
