“EVELI, A Jeweler’s Memoir”, the jewelry autobiography of Eveli Sabatie, 2022
This marvelous book is jewelry artist, Eveli Sabatie’s just published Magnum Opus, the full story of how she first came to meet Charles Loloma at Hopi and of how she learned to make her extraordinarily original jewelry which became her life’s consuming passion and artistic expression. The beautiful, lavishly-illustrated 320-page book pictures literally hundreds of her unique original creations, most with her unique names for them and fascinating stories about them. The book is informative, personal, detailed and uniquely her. We were also especially proud to see quite a few of the many Eveli jewelry pieces we have owned over the years and still do own featured in the book.
“I owe nearly everything shown in this book to the rather short but metamorphic span
of time I spent on the Hopi Reservation in Arizona, USA. All the work which unfolded
on the jewelry bench over the following three decades was gestated during that time.”
- Eveli, from The Book's Dedication
