Sunwest Silver Co Inc is a family owned business that began with a young Ernest Montoya, just home from Vietnam, selling Native American handmade jewelry out of his car. By 1972 he had established what we know today as Sunwest Silver Co, the industry’s leading source for turquoise, silver charms & findings, and finished handmade jewelry created by the Southwest’s finest Native artisans.
