LET YOUR FINGERS DO THE TALKING!

This stunning contemporary creation is a piece by Jesse Robbins, featuring a center rectangle stone flanked on either side by 4 snake eye stones, all in a vibrant blue turquoise set in simple bezels and accented by sterling silver drops. The shade of the stones is absolutely gorgeous and the chic silhouette makes it a classic contemporary piece you can cherish for decades!

Jesse was born and raised in Prescott, Arizona, and has been traveling and experiencing the American Southwest ever since. He was introduced to Native American jewelry through his mother at an early age. Through these unique surroundings, the seed was planted for future work to come. Early on, much of Jesse’s time with art was spent playing in the mud as he learned to create his first fine art through ceramics. In college, Jesse found a new love in archaeology. Which he studied at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. Archaeology would take Jesse to every corner of the Southwest, eventually leading him back home to Prescott.

While in Prescott a chance meeting with Randy “Bubba” Shackelford, a local silversmith, would forever change Jesse’s path. Under Bubba’s tutelage working at Falcon Trading Company, Jesse was immersed in the traditional techniques of tufa cast and hand-wrought silver work.

Today, Jesse continues to work as an archaeologist traveling the west with his eyes and heart. These forces always pull him back to the white metal and blue stones he has come to love. In his time off, Jesse follows his passion of manipulating silver and cutting stones. When possible he finds his way back to Prescott, where he and Bubba continue to collaborate together.
