shard (sherd): noun

In February 2007, Mark Stevens began replicating the ancient broken pieces of pottery found around Laguna Pueblo, New Mexico. The detailed shapes and designs of the original shards are accurately captured in a contemporary 3-dimensional format.

"Tashkana" Pendant 2012
Each original replica is created in sterling silver and entirely made by hand (overlay technique). These replicas permanently preserve the beautiful artwork of our ancestors in a contemporary medium.

Pendant 2012

I would like to express my deepest appreciation for the enduring love and support of
my beautiful & talented wife Shannon Stevens.
Shannon provides all the "behind the scenes" work associated with my jewelry business including
but not limited to: photography, marketing, sales, web site maintenance and she handles all the daily administrative requirements.
Without her support and hard work, I would not have the time to create as much jewelry nor be able to participate in the shows I do.
I truly could not do it without my wife.
Thank you Shannon.
