David Rosales/inlaid jewelry
David is a Navajo whose heritage influences the jewelry he is creating. He
was an apprentice jeweler until 1997 when he and three of his friends
exploded on the scene with their own line of jewelry at Indian Market. His
friends are Allen Barney, Herman Smith and Donald Douglas, all Native
Americans. The quality and brilliant colors of the stones they use is
exceptional. They combine unusual turquoise with such stones as lapis,
sugilite, varasite and tiger eye to create their contemporary designs. |

Gregory Pyra/Sterling Silver, Peridot, Moonstone, and Ocean Glass Leaf Pendant
Gregory Pyra fabricates his jewelry using sterling silver, solid gold, semi precious and precious stones, pearls, beach glass, mother of pearl, drusy, Australian opals, Baltic amber, and other original materials. With the help of his son, Gabriel, he uses a torch to melt and form raw materials of wire, sheet and bezel into very intricate shapes.

All of Gregory's jewelry pieces are one of a kind. None of the pieces are made by casting. There are no duplicates. A Polish born artisan now living in the USA, Gregory designs and hand sculpts his unique pieces of jewelry using a European technique. He created jewelry for the Royal Family of Sweden and his original work can be found in numerous museums throughout Europe.

Ann Krupp/gold & opal necklace
Originally beginning as a painter, Ann is a self-taught goldsmith and has
been designing and making jewelry for the past 30 years. Living in a lovely
landscape in the Hudson River valley of the New York Catskills is a major
influence on Ann's work. Her current jewelry uses various karats and shades
of gold, stones of beautiful colors and shapes, and fresh water pearls. Most
often a piece will incorporate two or three stones chosen to compliment one
another. The cast gold surfaces are machine polished only in specific areas
to define a shape or clarify an edge. Most of the surface is sand blasted,
then wire brushed and finally hand polished until the gold glows. Necklace pictured is 18 and 22 karat
gold with bolder opal, green tourmalaine and freshwater pearl.

Margie & Bill Lombard/gold & silver "Spirit Doll"
Margie and Bill have been creating beautiful silver and gold "lasting treasures"
jewelry since 1976. A few years ago, during a period of crisis, Margie found
great comfort in a poem that she wrote and sensed that this was a message that
was meant to bring her understanding and clarity. Unbeknownst to Margie, this
was the first of their StoryPin line of jewelry.
Inscribed on the back of the "Spirit Doll" pin is the message: "This Spirit Doll
brings you: An eagle for illumination, a deer filled with love and compassion, a
bear for strength, stars to light the way, a spiral for your path, a medicine
wheel for balance and protection, a lightning bolt for energy, a moon for
dreaming and a heart that will always love you."
