Live Shows are temporarily paused while the studio undergoes a remodel. We expect to resume shows once the new space is complete. Follow us on Facebook for updates on our return date.

Live Shows

Watch jewelry being made — live, by the artists themselves.

Our Facebook Live Shows bring Native silversmiths into direct conversation with collectors and the public. The format is deliberately educational: we teach how to identify authentic Native American jewelry, recognize quality, and shop without being deceived in a marketplace full of imports and replicas.

Each show features a guest artist or T.Skies team member presenting one-of-a-kind pieces. Artists set their own prices and keep what they earn. Customers can purchase live during the show or claim pieces afterward through our Inner Circle.

In a marketplace where authenticity is constantly faked, Live Shows are how we keep the conversation honest — and how we ensure Native silversmiths are paid fairly for their work.

What happens on a Live Show

Each show runs roughly 45–90 minutes. The artist walks through the pieces they're presenting — the stone origins, the technique, the cultural context, and what makes each piece what it is. Questions from the audience are answered in real time. There is no script. The conversation goes where the viewers take it.

The educational thread is consistent across every show: how do you recognize real turquoise? What does authentic stamp work look like compared to a cast replica? Which hallmarks belong to which silversmiths? After a few shows, regular viewers develop an eye that most jewelry buyers spend years trying to acquire.

Schedule (when active)

When Live Shows are running, the format is: Friday Jewelry Shows + Saturday Artist Shows weekly, plus occasional special editions for holidays and seasonal drops. Show times are announced each week on Facebook.

Words by Mateo James

The Live Shows started because collectors kept asking "how do I know it's real?" The answer wasn't a certificate. It was watching a silversmith explain their own work for an hour.
