Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Mike Bird-Romero

I am a  Silversmith, not just a jeweler. Meaning I can make any tool I need to create  my work. I use all hand rolled sterling silver and genuine turquoise and gems  for my range of jewelry: bracelets, necklaces, earrings, buckles, spurs, and  all sterling purses. My technique is learned from the old Santo Domingo  masters and includes hand made beads, hand strung necklaces and hand cut  stones, inlay, carving. I know the old techniques and pride myself on the  heavy gauge of silver I use -- my pieces weigh a lot because of their  quality.
