  • Argentium Man’s Ring with Turquoise – Sold

    I just finished this man-size ring that features a piece of ribbon-cut turquoise from Royston, Nevada that I bought from my friend, Andy   Brown.  Andy lives in Cerrillos, New Mexico and he mines in surrounding states and then cuts & polishes the native stone that I prefer to use.  I set the stone with a…

  • Argentium Sterling Silver Bolo with Ribbon-cut Turquoise – Sold!!

    Fresh off my work-bench for 2020, this is my new bolo that features a cabachon of ribbon cut turquoise.  I bought this stone last year from my friend, Andy Brown, who mined it in the Hachita Mountains of southern New Mexico.  He calls this a ribbon cut because the seam of turquoise goes across the…

  • Argentium Sterling Silver Men’s Cuff Bracelet

    I designed this solid cuff bracelet to appeal to men who like classic simplicity.  It is constructed from square and round silver rods which I fused together under high heat.

  • Argentium Sterling Silver Bolo with Cerrillos turquoise – sold!

    I got this beautiful "ribbon cut"  oval shaped cabachon from Andy Brown a few months ago that he had cut & polished from a stone that he mined in the mountains surrounding his home in Cerrillos, New Mexico.  I photographed it on a piece of the same rock which shows the vein of turquoise that…

  • Sterling Silver Belt Buckle

    I custom made this belt buckle for a friend named Wally who's wife is named Maida.  It combines their initials in an interesting manner that just popped into my mind.   It was constructed from 4 gauge square sterling wire that I gave a hammered texture and then a bright polish. 

  • Argentium Sterling Silver Bolo with Ethiopian Opal – sold

    This custom bolo was made especially for a long-time friend who wanted a piece with the Star of David design.  It has a  3-dimensional design which frames a trillian shaped Ethiopian opal.

  • Argentium Sterling Roadrunner bolo

    I have a friend who lives in Santa Fe who has an occasional roadrunner visiting on his property.  He and his wife enjoy feeding the local birds, but the roadrunner prefers to find its own food. It  eats insects, lizards, snakes and other small critters that it can run down.  I made this bolo especially…

  • Argentium Sterling Silver Valentine’s cocktail spears

    Sometimes I make something just for fun.  I like a maraschino cherry in my Manhattan cocktail & I have made several different designs over the years.  This one is in honor of Valetine's Day.  I left the point of the heart open, to hook over the edge of your glass.  It will work equally well…

  • Sterling Silver bolo with turquoise -sold

    I made this bolo to feature this beautiful turquoise cabochon that I bought in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2013.  The stone measures 22 x 35mm (~ 7/8" x 1-3/8").  In the Southwest, a man is considered formally dressed when he is wearing a well-made bolo & this one should fit the bill.

  • Sterling Silver Bolo with Fossilized Dinosaur Bone & Variscite – sold

    My design of this bolo started with choosing two different and interesting gemstones: a teardrop shaped red piece of fossilized dinosaur bone and an oval shaped green/black piece of variscite.  Both bezel-set stones originated in the American West. The sterling silver triangle of the bolo is heavily textured and has been oxidized to accentuate the…
