Description

I enjoy making jewelry during my off time in the evenings. It’s therapeutic an I loose track of time. I’m self taught using Navajo old style techniques. I use sterling silver and high grade natural turquoise to make jewelry. All my jewelry is fabricated from Raw Metal Sheets and wire, soldering is done by using torches, and stone grinding and shaping is done by hand using machines. I perfected my style of making jewelry that nobody can duplicae. I make my own jewelry stamps that separate me from other artist. My attention to details is timeless and it takes longer to make my jewelry pieces.
