Neeko Garcia

Diné (Navajo)/Hispanic Silversmith|Jewelry Artist 

Based in Albuquerque, Nm 

Born and raised in Texas, Neeko creates hand fabricated contemporary jewelry. She transforms silver and gems into delicate designs of hummingbirds, butterflies, florals, moons, stars and more. At a young age she got her creative side from her mom and picked up her business skills from her dad. Ever since she was a little girl she has always been fascinated with silver and turquoise jewelry. 
Neeko’s work is inspired by the world around her and her personal life. Each piece she hand fabricates from sterling silver to lapidary (stone cutting). 
In 2022 Neeko received her first award, a 1st place ribbon in the contemporary earring’s category at the prestigious juried show, Santa Fe Indian Market. In 2023 she received a 2nd place ribbon for earrings at the same show and has followed up in 2024 and 2025 with 1st place ribbons. She also recived an honorable mention ribbon at the 2025 Heard Musuem Guild Indian Fair and Market in the sets catagory. 

  “Making jewelry is such a beautiful process, and yet it is also very healing for me. It’s how I express myself. My jewelry is about who I am and where I come from. This is how I tell my story.”- Neeko
