Bernyse Chavez
Bernyse is a Navajo silversmith from To’hajillee, NM, with roots in the Red Running into Water clan on her mother's side and the Born for Salt clan on her father's side. She has been honing her silversmithing skills since 1985, learning the craft from her older sister, JoAnn Chavez. With great appreciation, Bernyse remembers the patience her sister showed while teaching her the intricate process of creating silver jewelry. She learned that every piece, regardless of its simplicity, should be crafted by hand as a work of art. Her expertise ranges from plain bezel-set stones to complex stamping techniques, showcasing her versatility as an artisan.

About Hande Made Beads
These Navajo Pearls are Handmade:
Creating hand-rolled silver beads is a celebrated tradition among Navajo silversmiths and an icon of Navajo jewelry. Handmade beads are meticulously crafted, with each bead being the result of an extremely labor-intensive process. These beads are shaped by hand using tools such as hammers, pliers, and files. The lengthy process includes melting, rolling, cutting, shaping, soldering & filing each sterling silver bead by BY HAND. This meticulous time honored method is a highly skilled trade that few artists have mastered.
