Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Seth Jones

I create unique, wearable art jewelry that reflects both my heritage and my craftsmanship as a silversmith. Utilizing locally sourced materials, I incorporate Deer, Elk, and Moose antler, as well as Elk ivory, into my designs. I also work with stones from my ancestral lands, including Tosa-Wihi (White Knife) chert, historically used for arrowhead making, and turquoise sourced from the nearby mountains. Through my work, I blend traditional materials with silversmithing techniques to create pieces that honor the land and culture from which they originate.In addition to these materials, I incorporate a variety of stones such as turquoise, variscite, wonderstone, and petrified wood, each chosen for its natural beauty and connection to the land. I also work with an array of metals, including silver, brass, bronze, copper, and gold, allowing for a diverse range of textures and finishes in my designs. My craftsmanship has changed from mostly silver to include antler and many other mediums.
