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.

This region produces several distinctive types, including Sonoran Gold, known for its vibrant colors like aqua blue, lime, and two-tone blue and green with a golden-brown matrix; Sonoran Rose, a natural bright blue turquoise; and Sonoran Blue, valued for its hardness, shiny pyrite flakes, and black oxide veins.
