Santa Fe Silverworks is a collection of beautiful, unique and
exquisitely handcrafted sterling silver pieces created by Santa Fe, New Mexico native Silversmith Gregory Segura. Being mostly
self taught, Gregory began designing in silver over 20 years ago in 1989, although he made is first piece for his mother,
Elvira, in a 1980 high school silversmith class. He has continued to perfect his skills over the years. Inspired by all the
beauty that the Southwest has to offer, and a great admirer of master silversmiths from New Mexico's past, Gregory's work
reflects his Spanish and Native American heritage. A bit of a restless soul, or maybe because he is a Gemini, Gregory's
jewelry offers a wide range of diverse designs from traditional to contemporary. Gregory is also the originator of the ©™Survivor's Cross, dedicted to all those affected by cancer and other debilitating diseases, not just those that beat their disease or those
battleing their disease but those providing care and support as well as those Survivors left behind to remember their loved
ones. All of Gregory's designs are original handmade
sterling silver rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, pendents, belts, buckles, crosses, and cigar cases and the New Mexico Zia Collection with bolo ties, pendents, cuff links and lapel pins. Many are one-of-a-kind works of art and most of his intricately stamped designs are truly unique, with no two identical.
He uses the heaviest gauge of silver possible to craft his pieces giving them a substantial feel and the assurance of the
highest quality available. Many designs incorporate turquoise, garnet,
lapis-azul and coral as well as other semi-precious stones. "From the first time I started working with silver it just came
natural to me. Designs came easy and manipulating the silver to execute my ideas just made sense. Turquoise has always been
my favorite stone to use because of the varied hues of blue to green, often with unique matrix lines. Combine that with silver
and beautiful jewelry is the result and reward." Please
enjoy browsing SantaFeSilverworks.com and know that the piece you choose was created from the heart and soul of Santa Fe.
