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.

Carico Lake Turquoise:

The Carico Lake mine, named after the dried-up lake bed in Nevada where this unique material is extracted, produces a diverse range of turquoise colors, from dark blues to light greens, with some stones featuring yellow or dark blue "water" webbing. The most sought-after variety is the intense apple green material, identified as faustite—a cousin of turquoise that contains higher levels of zinc, resulting in its vibrant color. Read More

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.

Am I Buying Authentic Native Jewelry?

We prioritize honesty and transparency regarding the origin of our jewelry. Each piece on our site includes a detailed description, and if an item is not native-made, we clearly indicate that. While we do offer a small selection of imported jewelry, we do not support the importation of pieces that replicate original native designs.

While we provide a necklace length guide to help you make informed choices, we understand that layering can be tricky. If you need additional assistance, feel free to reach out! We’re happy to lay out different combinations and send photos to ensure you achieve the look you want. Trying to match multiple pieces? We strive to accurately represent colors in our images, but please keep in mind that screen settings can vary. If you would like additional photos or pieces photographed together for better comparison we are happy to do so.
