We partner with local jewelry programs to teach young, aspiring jewelry makers.

Opportunities for Current & Aspiring Artists

We handcraft jewelry in a shared gallery in Albuquerque where Co-Op members can sell their work.
We connect artists to collectors through our T.Skies Inner Circle Facebook group.

Our RootsJewelry is art, and art is our culture.

The spirit of the southwest is tied into deep cultural roots. Out in the spacious land, the slow craft and nature keep us interconnected. Self-expression through our art allows us to continue our story. These stories are written in silver and worn on our wrists. Lessons woven into jewelry passed down for generations influenced by Spanish and Indigenous heritage.
Jewelry is ingrained in our very existence—it is more than just something pretty to wear. We believe jewelry is not a mass production commodity to be exploited. It is art, shaped by hands and infused with Spirit. We wish to keep its authenticity and quality as a high standard. We welcome you to join our high desert family. The land is free for you to soar in our open skies.
