Titled “Spirit” from Kathleen’s Veracity collection, this is one of her new designs in the store. Look for the rest of her pieces to be uploaded in the next week and made available for sale.

Kathleen is a local Colorado artist and I am honored to have her work in the store. See more about Kathleen under ARTISTS.

There’s always something new ‘on the trail’.

The Santa Fe Trail collection.

I’ve just introduced a new collection to the Santa Fe Trail. The designs feature collections of colors and my favorite beads! I have collected beads for many years and these are some of the best finds. Each bracelet and necklace will be slightly different, and therefore one-of-a-kind.

Julio Pagliani is now up on Santa Fe Trail Jewelry’s website.

I love this company’s designs and workmanship. Shown here is one of my favorite designs, the Copperhead Snake.

“At the heart of Julio Pagliani you’ll find the people of Norogachi, a small town deep in Mexico’s Sierra Madre, reachable only by sometimes impassable dirt roads through a land of Tarahumara Indians and Mestizo farming families. Working with these talented people, we craft beautiful bracelets, necklaces and accessories embraced by the finest shops.”

When you purchase a design with Julio Pagliani’s name, you are helping a village to find fairly paid work…and make much-needed money….without having to leave home and family.

‘Bad to the Bone’ is for the wild at heart.

Arizona artist, Kit Carson has brought a taste of the wild to Santa Fe Trail Jewelry. Inside some of his bracelets is this wonderful inscription of “Bad to the Bone”. Kit’s Stitch bracelets are inscribed with “Life is Good” inside. If you want a piece of the ‘wild side’, look for his work here at Santa Fe Trail Jewelry.
Jewelry with attitude.

Kit Carson Jewelry is now at Santa Fe Trail Jewelry

I discovered Kit Carson’s work through a friend who owns one of Kit’s ’Pirate” bracelets. Engraved inside is the saying “Bad to the Bone”. (see “Looking for Biker Jewelry?”) I knew his designs would be a perfect fit for my store. Kit Carson, the “Wildest Jewelry Engraver in the West”, is known for his original, bold, naturalistic, curvilinear design, extremely fine detail and a subtle sense of humor.

Inspiration rushes through Kit like a desert flash flood slapping the dust out of a dry arroyo. He observes the rich palette of nature in the desert: a leaf spiraling over itself, the graduating texture of a weathered stone, the voluptous form of the thunderheads, and the accelerating curves of a sunbleached bone. As he notices a rabbit bounding by him, framed over a golden cactus against a turquoise sky, he’s back at his bench working madly, a happy guy. “It is the nostalgic freedom of the western landscape and a return to a natural and simple life that I want to capture in my art”, says Kit. His themes include ravens, dragonflies, cactus, bones, cowboys and anything else he discovers in the desert.

Of Trollbeads and Harleys

I designed this Trollbeads bracelet to go with my 105th Anniversary Harley-Davidson, using the classic orange and black with a touch of copper. Beads used are the Belly Chakra, Black Gold, Dark Leopard, the retired Tiger, Three in One (which stands for you, your bike and the road) and the retired Pig (for every H.O.G member).

What are your colors? Let me design a bracelet for you!

My own newest design for the season, 3 strands of serpentine heishiwith a jade-like quality, dotted with a trail of cultured pearls. Years ago I fell in love and began collecting the fine jewelry from the Santo Domingo Pueblo Indians. This is a design with that inspiration
