Saville loves adventure, design, and treasure. He grew up on a ranch<br>near Fredericksburg Texas and was<br>influenced by Native American art at an early age. It was tradition for his Mom<br>to display all of the wonderful pieces<br>his family had collected dating back to before the 1930s. The pieces with<br>turquoise from famous mines and the<br>intricate patterns in the wool Navajo rugs were his favorites. To Shreve, these<br>were treasures with intrinsic value, to<br>be handed down for generations.<br>In college in Oregon, he joined a college-sponsored adventure travel/Eco-tourism<br>program. Traveling throughout New<br>Zealand and Australia, he had the opportunity to experience immersion into the<br>local Maori culture. Later his travels<br>led him to Asia, where he was able to explore ancient temples, marveling at the<br>amazing diversity of art. These<br>experiences impacted him deeply and he began to bring ethnographic art home. The<br>scope of the pieces ranged<br>from ancient Majapahit beads and Dayak tribe wood carvings to antique Javanese<br>textiles and many other unique<br>items. In time, Shreve decided to make his own treasures, turning his travel<br>experiences and cultural influences into<br>objects of art. The mission was to incorporate adventure, intrinsic value, and<br>design into pieces he could share with<br>the world. From this new beginning, he was brought full circle back to his early<br>influence of American Turquoise.<br>Shreve now owns several mines that supply his designs. One is Thunder Mountain,<br>which produces exceptional,<br>highly collectible turquoise. Shreve also has exclusive contracts for the<br>production of other mines such as the<br>Grasshopper mine which produces both turquoise and faustite.<br>The constants throughout Shreve s life have been his love of adventure, his<br>pursuit of travel, and his belief in the<br>quality of goods. With every piece that Shreve makes, there is a love of<br>quality, a love of creativity, and a devotion<br>to excellence. Shreve now resides in the mountains outside of Santa Fe with his<br>wonderful wife and son, close to<br>nature, and free from hustle.<br>All precious metals are tested and guaranteed, any Native American jewelry<br>referred to as Silver or Sterling is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90% (coin)<br>silver and possibly higher content.
