Name-card for Rita King (Navajo)

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

Rita King is a Navajo silversmith working in channel inlay and mosaic inlay in silver and gold. She was the wife of Jimmie King Jr. (active 1970s–2017), and the Hougart record documents a shared mark between them. Edward King also shared stamps with Jimmie King Jr., placing Rita King within the broader King family of Navajo silversmiths, though precise relationships among the Kings are not specified in the available source record.

The Mark

"JR (conjoined); JR (stylized conjoined initials)" — shared with Jimmie King Jr.
