Discerning jewelry-philes haunt the Heard Museum, both as a place to shop for genuine, topflight pieces and to goggle over museum-quality works of the sort found in the Heard exhibit “Young Jewelers: Forging a Future.” Held in conjunction with “Young Jewelers” and the museum’s free Sizzlin’ Summer Saturdays promo, “Bejeweled! American Indian Jewelry” event features hands-on activities, a demo by Navajo silversmith Marvin Slim, a performance by Aztec storyteller Michael Heralda, and a book signing by “Crafty Chica” Kathy Cano-Murillo.
