Selected work · Metalsmithing
Each piece is handcrafted from raw sterling silver and turquoise sourced from American mines, including old-stock stones such as Bisbee turquoise. In collaboration with lapidary Mark Smith, every cabochon is handpicked for its color, character, and the design it inspires.
The Royston turquoise in these pieces comes from Nevada. Shifting blues and greens run through warm, earthy matrix; no two stones are alike. Silver settings are built around each stone, with radiating textures, stamped details, and pierced accents that echo each stone’s natural lines.
Bold, grounded pieces, made for the stone & singular by nature. Commissions welcome—please inquire.

People in their own light, with room for personality.
