Dear Josh,
The bracelet arrived yesterday, and it’s a beauty. It fits perfectly, like it was made for me, and I can’t get over how gorgeous the stones are. Blue Gem is one of my favorite types of turquoise, but I’ve never seen any that achieves the deep teal color of the end stones on this bracelet–wow!
Thank you!
Meg

Just arrived home and opened the box.I am more than moved and awed. The buckle created by Mr. Nez far exceeds my expectations in every way.
Am at a loss for words, which for me is most unusual. I am thrilled. If you would Josh..express my deepest gratitude to Mr. Nez. Please let him know that this work will be appreciated not only by myself but also all of the artists that I work with that have only been able to see his creations in photos.
Most importantly Mr. Nez’s unique vision will continue to ignite the creative response of artists from many disciplines. A legacy of inspiration. Thank you both very much.
Josh, I look forward to doing business in the future.
Best regards,
Paul
Laura C. -Jan 19, 2009
Thanks Josh.. I’m actually wearing the varascite earrings right now–as well as the Albert Jake cuff bracelet.. and yes-I’m real pleased. To me this isn’t just wearing jewelry–it’s art… and the stones in their settings tie both earth and hand made art together. I was always uncomfortable with store bought jewelry- it’s expensive and mass produced to be all alike. In a week or so I teach a class about Frieda Kahlo–and will wear them again-but I don’t usually need an excuse-as I wear them a lot..
The pieces I purchased-are beautifully unique-even if there were more than one bracelet or set of earrings in a series–because each stone has it’s own personality and variety that transcends to a beholder-as well as the thoughts of the jeweler’s fabrication with sterling.. Mall/store bought jewelry can’t ever have a soul like that.
Oddly–I had almost the exact same conversation with someone just the other day-about this very same thought process..and they universally thought the same about jewelry and art.
Thank you for the follow up.. and I’ll look back at your site..Laura

Hi Josh! I meant to write you sooner. I received the New Lander Varascite ring on Tuesday. I would have had it Monday, but I wasn’t there to sign for it (USPS is very fast!). I am so happy with the ring. It is beautiful. I love your website and will keep looking in to see what’s new.Thank you!Sincerely,Becky
Susan M. Jan. 15, 2009
Hi Josh,I was so pleased to find my package waiting for me when I arrived home yesterday – thanks for the speedy delivery.
As I suspected – both pieces are awesome! In fact I’m wearing the Terry Martinez piece today and it’s so comfortable and easy to wear.
Once again I’m 150% satisfied and as always, it’s a great pleasure to work with you.Regards,Sue
Jim J. -Jan. 11, 2009
Hi Josh,Thanks for the nice note. I had been eyeing those two for some time now, and just decided that I should “just do it”. I noticed the next one in your inventory (the one featured in the magazine) also sold. Yes, I would be interested in a ring (with a gem quality #8 stone).
My other half REALLY LIKES the smaller of the two bracelets that I got for her.The larger one was for me of course.Thanks again.Regards,Jim
John R. – Jan. 5, 2009
Hey Josh!!— I’m at work, as usual, and the ring just came 5 minutes ago—and you’re right, it is awesome. I’ve been reading a bit about what it takes to do silversmithing, and Sammie is a true artist. The stone is just awesome, too… How many people can say they have matching number 8 stones on a cuff bracelet and a ring… I like things that are unique, and this set certainly is.
Next up for me— maybe next year, if there are any more number 8 stones available might be a bolo made by Sammie. I see you sell them as set including a belt buckle.Thanks again—–JER
Jesus S. -Jan. 2, 2009

Frank A.-Dec. 15, 2008
Hi Josh- I just got a chance to see the piece and it is truly beautiful- I can’t believe the stones– they were impressive when you first sent me the photo of them but when you see them against the silver – it’s amazing. I’ll be looking forward to my Christmas gift- Seriously thanks again- Merry Christmas to you guys- Frank
Kevin B. -Dec. 15, 2008

Danielle P. -Dec. 12, 2008
Good day Ms & Mr Chaney,I meant to let you know how stunning was the piece I bought from you. The Dry Creek/Sugilite bracelet is superb. I will not hesitate to purchase another item or refer you. Thank you very much!D. P.
Kevin L. – Dec. 12, 2008
Josh,Thank you for altering the bracelet to fit 6″. I can honestly say that this was the best customer service I have ever had making a purchase, making it a very enjoyable experience, and I will definitely come back. Thank you and I will recommend your site to everyone interested…especially after they see the bracelet. Thank you.Kevin L.
John R. Dec. 9, 2008
Josh—- thanks so much for the info on my old stuff… it is extremely helpful, and makes me appreciate them more…I had no clue as to what seafoam was, since you mentioned it before, so I had some breaks today at work, and found alot of info on it, and was really intrigued. I like stuff from nature, I don’t care for man messing around with things that Nature created. I love interesting rocks and plants. That is why I was attracted to your site, from the ad in Cowboys and Indians which I just started getting. I knew you were more interested in quality and craftsmanship than just your run-of-the-mill Indian jewelry.The Number 8 from Sammie K continues to just amaze me. The fit is good, the stone just glows— yeah— it glows, and the silver work is astonishing.Talk to you again…. I am really pumped about this bracelet.JER
John R. -Dec. 8, 2008
The Sammie K bracelet is awesome… not too flashy, the stone is so incredible, I just gasped when I unwrapped it. It’s also a strong masculine type design which appeals to me….I’ll send you a deposit on the new ring from Sammie K…………..thanks so much!!!!JER—————–yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!
