Business Owner
CurrentT.Skies jewelry began as a blog to educate consumers about turquoise stones. Over time the blog incorporated jewelry. After many interviews with local artists, we opened a physical space where local craftsmen and women could continue learning and practicing their cultural art forms. At first, we sold one-of-a-kind hand made pieces and made a safe place for jewelers to create and sell their wearable art. Over time we created our signature collections, giving our jewelers consistent income while they worked on their own pieces. 5% of the sales of these signature pieces help fund a 501(c)3 non profit that helps local artists and fight the abuse of misappropriation in our industry. Today, our mission has expanded beyond supporting existing jewelers, we focus on training to aspiring artists. Through our K.I.T.A program and internship programs, we sponsor aspiring jewelers from underrepresented populations to learn the skills of jewelry smithing, encourage their unique artistic expression, and help keep our artistic culture alive.Spanish, Mexican, and Indigenous cultures are part of our family, making a rich style for our jewelry and a beautiful community around the T.Skies workshop.You can still find one-of-a-kind, handmade pieces from local jewelry artists on our Live Shows, or explore our Signature Collections, which are inspired by the blended cultures of the Southwest and handcrafted by our local artists.
