Craigor’s love for wild places brought him to Colorado in 1993 and he has been living, working and playing in the mountains ever since. Inspired by nature, Craigor has always been drawn to work with earth-materials. His early creations emerged from wood, bone, seashell and stone. Years of refinement and attention to detail have led him to make fine jewelry from precious and semiprecious stones. His current work involves inlaying stone into stone in beautiful celestial patterns. Each pendant is unique and no two are exactly alike. Craigor understands the innate power of the stones and hopes every piece will be a medicinal talisman for those who wear them.

Craigor’s alternative lifestyle reflects his concern for the health of our planet. His home (the geodesic dome), his studio (the yurt) and all his tools are run completely off of solar and wind power. Surrounded by mountains and trees is where he works best, and working with stones keeps him connected to the earth. When he is not snow boarding, mountain biking or walking quietly in the woods Craigor can be found in his greenhouse tending his vegetables.

Craigor developed his own technique inlaying stone into stone with smooth circular patterns intersecting and overlapping the inlays. new ideas are always emerging from his studio. He is always refining and perfecting his work to the next level.
