Kathleen Livingston Chavez
Kathleen Livingston Chavez was born on December 17, 1958, in Church Rock, New Mexico, where she still resides with her husband, Lorenzo Juan. She began her silversmithing journey in 1974, initially creating earrings, rings, and bracelets. By 1994, Kathleen expanded her artistry to include unique, high-end jewelry designs. She expresses great enjoyment in this evolution of her craft, stating, “It is more fun to make because of the amount of thought and imagination you have to put into it.” Today, she operates out of Gallup, New Mexico, continuing to innovate and inspire through her jewelry.
Kingman Turquoise - Arizona
The Kingman Mine, located near Kingman, Arizona, is an active turquoise mine that has been in production since the 1880s, following its discovery by S.A. Colbaugh in the Aztec Mountains. The Colbaugh family continues to mine, process, sort, and distribute Kingman Turquoise. Most Kingman Turquoise is porous and requires processing for jewelry, with only about 3% of the stones being naturally hard enough for direct use. The mine is renowned for its blue matrix turquoise.
