Rick creates one-of-a-kind jewelry. He works primarily with silver and occasionally gold. Rick has developed his own organic style based on simplicity. He prefers to work with natural stone. Rick cuts and polishes each stone into freeform cabochons then designs the jewelry around the stone with an eye towards simplicity. Rick feels that he is framing what mother nature created into a piece of wearable art. Rick's signature pieces are his inlay work with Turquoise and Lapis. Rick also has done work for known jewelry designers and repairs Native American jewelry. Artists Statement: I prefer simplicity in my designs. The stone is my inspiration, my muse. My goal is to present the stone and metal in it's best possible form and finish. The stone is the art; I am but the artisan.
