Born in 1941, jewelry artisan Federico Jimenez has long appreciated Native American culture and craftsmanship. Originally from Oaxaca, Mexico, Federico came to the United States in 1967 to work and study, where he studied jewelry making and design. In 1970, he and his wife Ellen Belber Jimenez traveled throughout the Southwest, where they first fell in love with the Native American and Southwestern aesthetic. They became connoisseurs of folk art and amassed a collection of Native American, Latin American, and Mexican antiques, jewelry, and housewares, opening a series of galleries in southern California. Formerly a trustee of the Millicent Rogers Museum in Taos and the Southwest Indian Museum in Los Angeles, Federico now lives in Venice, California, where he focuses on designing his jewelry.
