Hand-Hammered Silver and Coral Earrings
Flickers of warm coral against cool silver dazzle in the light. A southwest classic combination.
Because these are hand-crafted, no two earrings are alike.
Approximately 3/4 in diameter. Sterling silver. Hand-signed on the back by Matagi Sorensen.

Hand-Carved Silver Lace Cuff
This “silver lace” cuff is anything but dainty. Solid silver, this bracelet is comfortably weighty without being heavy. A gorgeous piece, the curve and the cut-outs refract light and color so that the bracelet seems to shimmer.
Modern with an organic feel! Simply stunning.
The inside of the cuff is curved and smooth for a very comfortable fit. Signature piece.

Come out and visit me at the beautiful Zen Mountain Gallery. I am honored to be giving live jewelry making demonstrations and to be showing my latest designs. I always love visiting Zen Mountain – it’s a really nice gallery with so much to see.
Mokume and Shadowbox Double-Sided Pendant
Two different styles in one hollow form pendant.
Brushed silver with a hand-cut organic line that opens up to a shadowbox that shows the inner workings of the piece. Like a detail mirroring the mokume on the other side, the shape of the cut out swirls around a circle that opens to another shadowbox with copper inside.
The other side is hand-crafted copper and silver mokume with a contrasting turquoise set in a shadowbox. The color of the copper will deepen over time, making this an evolving piece.
Copper, silver, and turquoise reflect the beauty of the southwest.
Hand-crafted hollow form shadowbox. Approximately 1 inch wide by 1 1/4 inches tall by 1/4 inch deep. One-of-of-a-kind.

Red Tree ~ Silver and Copper Shadowbox Slider
This sweet little slider pendant has a silver body with a copper top that is hand-carved and is coated with red enamel. Variations in color and texture on the enamel are due to the hand-crafted process of the piece. Classic Native American technique with a contemporary design.
This was a fun piece to make, and I will be experimenting with more designs and colors in the future!
Approximately one inch diameter, 1/4 inch deep. Signed on the back. One-of-a-kind. Hollow form, shadowbox.

Wyeth, Andy Warhol, Georgia O’Keeffe, Allan Houser, Frederic Remington, Charles Russell and Kay WalkingStick.
