This delightful local shop, tucked inside a charming mint-green bungalow, offers a treasure trove of unique handmade gifts crafted by talented local artists and vendors.
A Story Rooted in Heritage and Community
Desert Moon Traders began as an inspiring initiative to support Native American artists during the pandemic. Owned by the passionate duo Krystal and Floyd Parkhurst, this shop is a celebration of creativity and cultural heritage. Krystal, a fifth-generation Navajo silversmith, hails from the Navajo Reservation and collaborates with her family and friends to bring exquisite jewelry to life. At Desert Moon Traders, you’ll find beautifully crafted turquoise rings, squash blossom necklaces, and other stunning pieces that tell a story of artistry and tradition.
Make Your Own Masterpiece
Beyond shopping for unique finds, Desert Moon Traders offers a hands-on experience that’s truly unforgettable. Sign up for a silversmithing class and create your very own turquoise ring or personalize a bracelet or hat with pieces provided by the talented team at LVAZ Boutique. It’s the perfect opportunity to unleash your creativity and take home a piece of Gilbert’s artisan spirit.
