Richard Schmidt Jewelry pieces are one-of-a-kind, each hand crafted individually by the artist himself. Richard frequently incorporates crosses, images of the Virgin Mary, and "Dia De Los Meurtos", mixing rugged turquoise with the brilliance of gemstones, hammered sterling silver with yellow gold for a unique contrast. Inspired by the beauty of Texas and the great southwest, Richard designs and creates each piece by hand in his gallery in the quaint south Texas town of La grange. Richard's life is centered around family and friends, creativity, hard work, and his faith which makes each piece of jewelry something to be treasured for generations to come.
