Jeremy Rosetta — Kewa Silversmith
Jeremy Rosetta is a Kewa (Santo Domingo Pueblo) silversmith born in 1972. The Hougart record documents his work in tufa cast pieces, inlay, chip inlay, hands designs, and stamp work. He is identified as the husband of Eileen Rosetta, who works in inlay and set stones.
Our reference library also references Joseph Rosetta (Deceased; Kewa), active since the 1980s, known for retro style, buckles, and cut turquoise — though the family relationship to Jeremy is not specified by Hougart.

The primary mark consists of a rain cloud pictograph paired with "KEWA," and an alternate form uses the surname J. Rosetta. The rain cloud motif is common among Kewa jewelers and carries cultural significance related to water and agriculture in Pueblo communities.
