The Royston turquoise in Ray Lovato’s choker necklace is extremely hard, colorful and, best of all, high grade and natural. Ray still hand snips, shapes, grinds and polishes his beads, “the way it has been done for thousands of years,” says Ray. We did point out that prehistoric man did not have a motorized grinder, so Ray modified his statement as follows; “the way it has been done for hundreds of years!” We will keep working on Ray’s history lessons, but the honest truth is Ray’s beads are magnificent!
About the artist:

The gift of humor is a blessing to those who have it, and to those of us exposed to the comic. From an early age, Steve and I have been blessed with the humor of Santa Domingo artist Ray Lovato. Not only does Ray create exceptional jewelry, he does it with wit and comedy. He always has an aura of happiness around him, and this attitude seems to spread, like a California fog, to those who know him. In addition to his artistic talents, Ray is also a gifted salesman. When he pulls up in front of the trading post we know that there is a good possibility that we will soon be parting company with our available cash.
