“It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.”– St. André Bessette
MEET THE ARTIST:
What some do with paint brushes or what others do in sculpting stone,Kathy's medium is creating art in metal form with no 2 pieces of art alike! She is probably one of the most artistic artists that I am more than honored to offer, where each & every one of her pieces bring me to a stand still!! She is the 'epitome' of a TRUE artist whose jewelry is high in demand since she is highly collectible & has customers aching to get their hands on anything she creates. She has a signature style that is so unique & once you see her work,you will always be able to recognize her work thereafter.
Kathy was born & raised in New Mexico & now makes Texas her home. But regardless of where she resides, she will always let us know through her jewelry that New Mexico still takes up a good portion of her heart & is never far from home,where New Mexico has an vast amount of religious/devotional art like this that dominate the state.. She is a veteran jeweler & has about 30 years under her belt. You'll find both Native & Mexican influences that are inspired from New Mexico, with many and or most of her jewelry having a sweet spiritual theme. They are creations created with a heart full of love & are totally created by hand.

THE RINGS:
Wearing a ring such as one of these,will be like “Walking with Saints”!
Each are made in a cigar band style, which are made to resemble the decorative wrapping of expensive cigars. The ring's curved head follows the contours of the wearer's finger which make them extremely comfortable to wear.. Made with a heavy spiritual theme,each are designed differently depending on what size you wear. Each are also one of a kind pieces of art,were no 2 are the same.
**PLEASE NOTE:: Because of the rings tapered design, where it’s wider on the top & then narrows on the underside, makes them measure differently by 1/4 of a size when put on the ring mandrel.For example: When the top side is measured,it measures a 1/4 of a size larger that when the underside is put on the mandrel. So what you want to do is pay attention to the ‘underside’ size.in the “Specifics” below.. (To visually see what I’m talking about, please view the 2 photos that are side by side near the end of the photos)**
