WillBarnesJewelry

I was born and raised in New Mexico of mixed racial descent; Spanish, Native, and Dutch. My style embodies who I am, and where I came from. With strong southwest influence, my designs incorporate the essence of the southwest and its traditions, as well as the way of life many New Mexicans can relate to. I left New Mexico in 1999 and moved to southern California, where I lived for 15 years before moving back to NM and becoming a jeweler. Now, currently residing in Southwest Florida.

Before I became a jeweler, I had a variety of skilled trades in which I professed. Drawing, the fundamental root of most creation, welder/fabricator/millwright, and later mostly business stuff.

I've been making jewelry since the end of 2017, I've become a well-known southwest jeweler in a short amount of time and look forward to many more years as a jeweler/gemstone dealer. Since I've basically just begun, I feel like the sky is the limit. Currently, I've added casting to my jewelry making process, although most of my pieces are still fabricated entirely by hand, I will be incorporating more cast gold and sterling silver pieces to the mix, as well as a mix of the two processes.

If you have some dreamy ideas that you'd like to bring to fruition, I'm your guy.
