Throwback Thursday: Santa Fe Symposium

4/30/2015

I will be attending the Santa Fe Symposium of Jewelry Manufacturing Technology this month to keep up with emerging technologies and insights in jewelry manufacturing! This year marks 40 years of my own experience in jewelry design and manufacturing and this conference keeps me current on emerging industry technologies.
Here is a look at a couple of pieces from my custom jewelry making past. I am particularly proud to have participated in the creation of a belt of Conchas presented to Eddie Bell, founder of the Santa Fe Symposium. A Concha is a typically a round decorative piece of metal seen on a western saddle and other horse equipment descended from the Spanish tradition.
I have presented research topics there 5 times so far and will contribute again. Making this Concha for Eddie’s belt remains a highlight.

I have an intimate familiarity with both the materials with which I work and the process of working with people to create meaningful designs.
These passions, and my interest in utilizing appropriate technology to manage my business and connections, inform my current business model

And...
I love to write. I've been frequently published, mostly within the jewelry industry, but on topics as wide-ranging motor-home reviews to metallurgical science.

Oh yeah, I love to cook and eat well so you will see me diverting to food and travel topics here too! Have fun reading and recommend me to your friends!
