The Work
Handcrafted sterling silver and semi-precious stone jewelry — a working portfolio of past pieces from the Santa Fe studio.
Browse the collection
Every piece shown here was made by hand in my Santa Fe or Ghost Ranch studios — sterling silver, semi-precious stones, and techniques rooted in the Southwestern tradition: channel inlay, overlay, and stone setting.
This gallery is a working portfolio, not a store. The pieces shown are examples of past work, shared as evidence of the craft — questions about commissions or workshops are always welcome.
These photographs come from the studio archive. As pieces are re-photographed and the archive is organized, more work will be added to each category.
