The Beginning
One of the Biggest Impacts on My Life. The knowledge of silversmithing was given to me by my Uncle Ralph Montoya. He provided the space and the materials for me to explore into world of the turquoise blues. Silver is a beautiful medium for me to explore the soul.
Ring 1
Laid in front of me a tray of turquoise and this was the first stone I picked. 3/21/2015
Bracelet One

Did a repair on the band because it snapped off the main piece. You can tell the difference in the soldering. One has gaps and the other is full and filled.
Bolo Tie 1
This bolo Tie was made for my Cheii’s Funeral. My uncle helped me finish the piece so I could make it to the chapter house meeting. The tips are not mine. 5/28/2019
