Kathleen Livingston Chavez was born in Church Rock, New Mexico, December 17,
1958. Today, Kathleen lives in Church Rock with her husband Lorenzo Juan, and
works out of Gallup, New Mexico. She started to silversmith in 1974, making
earrings, rings, and ‘slave bracelets’. In 1994, she began to challenge herself
to create higher-end jewelry, which she says is “much more fun to make, because
of the amount of thought and imagination that goes into it.”
All precious metals are tested and guaranteed, any Native American jewelry
referred to as Silver or Sterling is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90% (coin)
silver and possibly higher content. Anything marked is guaranteed to be what
it's marked, most bracelets are photographed on a 6" wrist (non hairy), rings
photographed on the appropriate sized finger when possible. With bracelets if
the measurement is not given in the description then inside circumference is
shown where the metal meets the number on the the cloth tape measure.
