Materials: solid sterling silver & 14k gold. Natural turquoise and stones, hand lapidary & inlay work, setting cabachons, occasionally making my own coral beads, and gem work. Sometimes I use stabilized turquoise beads for extra color aesthetics. Techniques: all handmade jewelry. I have a Masters degree in Jewelry & Metalsmithing, so I use more advanced techniques including: hollowform, corrugation, mokume, air-forced hydraulic press forming, reticulation, and other experimental techniques that I invent on my own. I incorporate these more modern techniques into contemporary and traditional jewelry forms, and also do hand-stamping work. My designs are uniquely my own, and I am continually experimenting with non-traditional methods of making Native-themed jewelry.
