Kingman Turquoise March 2021

Just got back from our semi-annual trip to Lake Havasu City, Arizona to see my son, his wife and our two grandsons. Weather was really nice (not too hot there this time of year!). And to top it off, we missed the snowpocalypse in the Front Range of Colorado!

Had to stop in Kingman, Arizona at Colbaugh Processing to look for new Turquoise stones! Got some earring sets for designing earrings. Will be coming soon to the website.

I have had people ask me about the Purple Turquoise I get from Colbaugh. They also have bright green. What Colbaugh does is, take the scraps left over from cutting turquoise beads, dye the turquoise and mix with bronze or copper bits, spiny oyster shell, mix with resin and then pressure pressed to form blocks that lapidarists can then cut cabochons, or beads. This is a great use of turquoise because nothing goes to waste and a “new” stone is created for jewelers to use in their work.

A virtual tour of my studio

About a year ago my nephew, Kody Helart, did a video of me and my studio in Longmont Colorado, as part of his final project at the Art institute of Colorado.  

It's a good advertisement for my work and will provide some insight to my motivation and my creative vision.

To see a what's available now or to talk about custom designed pieces contact me via email.

For more of Kody' work check out This video  it gives you a good sample of his work.  He's a talented young man.

Thanks, Kody for the video.
