Ray Garcia

When I create a piece of jewelry it comes from my head and my heart. I use my experiences in my life and prayers to the Creator every day in asking guidance in creating my jewelry.The methods that are used to create jewelry pieces come from Tufa Casting and Cuttlebone casting techniques in which I add a hint of or sometimes the whole piece. I also use inlay techniques that I have learned over the years and have perfected.The actual materials consist of Sterling Silver and various stones that I hand cut using various lapidary methods and inlay methods.
