I hope you like what you see. I am a retired granddad and began making my own jewelry in 2009 with a keen interest in turquoise and natural minerals. I started with beading and then soon evolved into a silversmith after watching and learning from other talented artisans. My own unique style of jewelry is created using fabricated pure and sterling silver combined with turquoise and other unique sto
nes. All of my pieces are handmade with minimal tools, and are intended to appeal to a wide variety of tastes. I use heavier gauge bezels and silver to ensure that my pieces will last. I am always studying, learning and searching for high grade turquoise, stones and natural materials to use in my creations. I am still active in sports and the outdoors, a musician at heart (guitar and sax), and travel moderately. Playing the guitar comes in handy as it toughens my fingers to work with silver. My wife Nikki, an artist is also retired but still quite active as she gives private art lessons after teaching art for 24 years. She is always there to give me valuable advice and support. The shop photo is of the sun through the windshield of a car. The resulting prism effect is a reminder that all of the colors come from the sun.
