Geneva Terrazas — Zuni Silversmith
Name-card placeholder — hallmark imagery to follow. © Turquoise Skies Inc.
Geneva Terrazas is a Zuni silversmith active since the 1980s. The Hougart record notes her work in cobblestone inlay — a technique in which stones are cut into irregular, tightly fitted forms and set to resemble a cobblestone surface, creating a dense, textured appearance distinct from standard channel inlay.
Geneva Terrazas shares her hallmark with her husband Richard Terrazas. Two mark variants are recorded for the pair, both combining their shared initials R and G with the initial T for Terrazas.
The Mark
“R & G T; R. & G. T.”

Two variants of the same joint mark: R & G T and the punctuated form R. & G. T., both representing Richard and Geneva Terrazas.
