Carl W Luthey in the 1960’s the 70’s had excellent Navajo Silversmiths working for him making the jewelry that he designed. Much of his jewelry has the leaf and flower design that was so popular then. Some of the artists that worked with him did very distinctive and recognizable work. Some of those artists were Luke Billy Yazzie and Louise and Ramone Platero. The Carl Luthey Studio sign is a stick figure representing the designer instead of the maker. Sometimes, there will also be the artist’s sign as well. The head is a C, the arms are a W and the legs have an L in them.
