Darren Livingston
Darren Livingston has spent most of his life in Church Rock, New Mexico, where he currently lives with his family. This community is not only home to him but also to his father and grandfather, from whom he learned the art of silversmithing at the age of thirteen. After attending public high school and enjoying his education, Darren became serious about his craft and began earning a living through silversmithing.
A hallmark of Darren’s jewelry is the precision with which each piece is constructed and finished, a quality often described as "clean" workmanship. The stones are set evenly into tight, fine silver bezels, and there are no sharp edges or signs of careless craftsmanship. His creations reflect the dedication of an artist who takes no shortcuts, ensuring that every piece leaving his studio embodies a high standard of quality. From simple single-stone pendants to intricately designed multi-stone dragonfly necklaces, Darren's work showcases the finest traditions of Navajo silverwork and a deep sense of pride in his heritage.
Golden Hills Turquoise:
Golden Hills mine is located in Kazakhstan produces turquoise known for its unique periwinkle blues and beautiful burnt umber matrix. This hard, high-grade material yields one of the most chemically pure turquoises available. Mining occurs only in winter due to summer flooding in the area. This rarity and the challenging mining conditions contribute to its elevated price in the market. More Info
