In honor of the Mexican/El Paso culture so rich in passion, tradition, and pride I give you my first Dia de Muertos pendant made of pure silver hanging on 20 inch chain of Sterling silver. $40
This is one of my early pieces of silver. It began as a ball of wax. After shaping and adding details, a mold was prepared into which precious metal clay made of pure silver with a binding agent that is burned off as the silver is heated in a furnace. The combination of design, a bit off metallurgy, and working with the silver is a fun and rewarding adventure. There is a connection to the land and history of the area that is connected to my alma mater and my love of working with my hands to create from the resources the Earth gives us that goes all the way back to my days in the shop classes and my father’s wood working shop full of tools. $40 SOLD

This is a collection of pieces of jewelry that I have for sale. It represents the journey I have taken in my pursuit of my goal of learning and using what Nature has given to me to use as a pallet to create works of art. Like any art, these represent the human touch and therefore, imperfections. These also represent different paths I have taken in my journey, from cabbing stones to faceting gemstones, to setting stones, to creating custom pieces.
Most of these items were cut and faceted in El Paso, by me. Some of the stones were collected here in El Paso by my son Brian Evans. The quality of the stones are best represented by the pictures. When shopping for diamonds they say to look for the 3 C’s, cut, clarity, and carat. I would say that character is the fourth C and that many of my stones best qualities may be their Character.
