Emery Holmes (likely Emery Holmes Sr., c. 1930s–2010s) was a renowned Hopi artisan primarily known for exquisite sterling silver overlay jewelry featuring Kachina motifs, such as dancing figures, birds, and scorpions. His work often includes his hallmark "EH" or "EH HC" and is highly collectible for its intricate file-work and reversible designs. Meldria Holmes appears to be associated with him (possibly a spouse or family collaborator), though details on her individual contributions are scarce—Hopi art frequently involves family workshops where multiple members contribute to carving, painting, or finishing.
