Burro Creek (AZ) Agate and 100% Recycled Sterling Silver Ring Size 8. Heavy gauge band. Built with a simple, minimalistic setting.

Rugged, adventure-inspired designs for free-spirited mountain folk.

Most elements/materials used in the crafting of my work are naturally and locally collected or sourced. I gather fallen wood only (manzanita, juniper/cedar, black walnut, and mesquite) from Yavapai County. All turquoise is sourced from Arizona mines or from estate sales or collectors (Kingman, Morenci, Sleeping Beauty) or the Cheyenne mine in Nevada (a small mine owned by a Prescott-based family.) Read about Arizona Turquoise Mines HERE. I am mindful to source all other stones from Arizona when possible. I collect the pipestone (by hand) in small quantities from a wild and special (local) spot near one of my favorite climbing areas. I purchase my (recycled only) sterling silver from southern Arizona from a reputable recycled silver source. All copper components are scrap received from construction sites around Arizona. .22 brass bullet shells are gleaned from dusty washes near Skull Valley, Arizona. River/sea stones and glass are collected on adventures, or purchased from small US family businesses.

These one-of-a-kind Mountain Found treasures are sturdy; however, please be gentle with them: they are crafted with natural components. Do not wear them to swim the English Channel, mud wrestle with your bestie, or squeeze into a badger den. But go ahead, ride your fastest pony across the prairie, dance with coyotes in the desert, climb your favorite tree, or run that mountain trail!
