Fast Facts:

The discovery of silver in Texas is credited to the Franciscan friars who discovered and operated mines near El Paso about 1680. These mines were worked for a number of years until the Franciscans , fearing to lose control of them to the Jesuits, concealed them. In July 1793 one mine near El Paso was reopened and worked until Mexican independence in 1821, when its location was again lost. The mine was rediscovered from church records in 1872, and in 1880 the Presidio Mine near Shafter, Presidio County, was discovered. Opened in 1884, this mine produced $300,000 worth of silver annually for a number of years.

Look for this!

When you see this symbol you are looking at items that are Crafted in Texas.

Now this is not to say that all the materials came from Texas, because heck, Texas doesn't mine as much gold or silver as other parts of the world.

What it does tell you is that the item was crafted here in our Great State and, as always, we try to use as much native material as possible.

For instance, the Blue Topaz on our site, unless otherwise noted, is unfortunately not from the Mason County, Texas area .

The production of that material just cannot meet our manufacturing demands and is generally very light blue or clear compared to the deeper Blue Topaz we offer.

Our promise to you is to provide as many of our products as we can from Texas Materials and Texas Craftsmen.

You can bet your boots on it.
