Johnny Crescent Silver Hand wrought traditional coin ingot jewelry. Available in Santa Fe, Flagstaff, Second Mesa and direct I make one of a kind hand wrought southwestern jewelry.

I make it the way it was made 100 years ago. I melt mercury dimes to liquid and pour that into a depression in sand. That ingot is then hammered and rolled and hammered some more until it becomes a blank canvas. I then stamp, file, chisel and add stones. I use only natural stones. Most I cut myself from rough turquoise but I also like to use old stones from antique jewelry. My work is hard and physically demanding. It is imperfect; as it should be. I am often asked "Why don't you just have them wax cast or use sheet silver? You could make 6 bracelets in the time it takes you to make one this old fashioned way." Well they're right! I could. But I prefer the primitive tools and brute force it takes to make the silver do what I want. And the imperfections that occur are part of the magic. You cant get folds and fractures, cracks and dents in sheet. My bracelets are hard to make and made with love. The happiest I have ever been is when I hold a just finished bracelet in my hand. When I rub my fingers on the silver and it feels like butter and my heart jumps. I made this! It amazes me every time.

Haven’t done a flattop in a minute. Just hanging out in the shop with Kaiden C. making random things that bring me joy. I remember making my first ones and starting the trend. Grateful for this gift of making silver, for I know not from where it comes.
