About the Artist:
Tom Charley

Thomas Charley, a full-blooded Native American Indian born in 1952 on the Navajo Reservation in Crownpoint, New Mexico, has been immersed in the art of jewelry creation since 1977. His unique contemporary style, developed independently, blends sophistication with the rich character and ethics passed down from his forefathers in the business. Specializing in sterling silver designs, Thomas employs a clever construction technique, using strong silver links as a base and adorning them with a wide row of domed silver bars, creating a distinctive rope motif. This method not only adds a dramatic touch but also ensures a lightweight and comfortable wear, a testament to his thoughtful craftsmanship.
