Sam's work continues to evolve as he challenges himself.   Many silver and goldsmiths will figure out a way to avoid the difficult challenges that frustrate and perplex, but Sam dives straight into that buzz saw and the results...well, look for yourself.
Is there a name for this style?   No, but it is a style that cannot be ignored.   The term 'couture jewelry' only begins the discussion.
High carat gold, sterling, platinum...combined with style, high fashion and unique character.


Turquoise that occurs in thin veins tends to be rich in color, but hard to cut so some have begun to cut across the vein, creating interesting patterns.   This turquoise came from the Bisbee Mine.   The work, entitled "Flowing Waters" is $1200.


There are certain pieces of jewelry by Sam’s grandfather and father that are signature pieces, masterful creations that stand as testament to their keen eye for design and exceptional dedication to the execution of that vision.   This is such a piece of Sam’s work.   Set in 22 kt gold with 18 kt gold beads and nearly 60 carats of the finest blue spiderweb turquoise from the Candelario Mine (or anywhere else, in my opinion) this is an heirloom.   Priced at   $16,000.00.


Sterling ranger buckle accented with 14 kt gold and set with natural, very good quality Bisbee turquoise.   $2400

His elegant, plain silver blade bracelets have been transformed!   The two textured bracelets are plain on one side and patterned on the other.   $285 each.

From a line of what he calls his blade bracelets.   These two are a small and medium ladies’ size and are priced at $285 each.  

He created these storyteller rings in red and yellow 14kt gold on argentum (an alloy of silver that never tarnishes).   The geometric designs suggest your own story and receive your own meanings as you own and study the ring.   $750 each.
