Meet The Maker


Hi, I am Chayse, the founder and chief silversmith of Frontera. I am a traveling artist, cat mama, outdoor enthusiast and new member of the TINY movement.

Hot dayum, I am ready for Spring Break! I’m ready to be in the desert, soak up sunshine, and stare at that BIG, BLUE, INFINITE BLUE sky with my closest friends. I’m ready to melt metal in the wild in my sweet Dale (my camper) AND bring you more pieces like this one, that was created very close to my heart. No matter how hard the day, the message on the inside of this cuff has become one of my mantras. Do all things in love. . . . So much love friends. #SPRINGISNEAR 🌱 Also, this cuff will be available at @crossbowleather in #TellurideColorado this weekend! . . . . #Thoughtful #IntentionalJewelry #TurquoiseJewelry #TurquoiseTuesday #TurquoiseOverDiamonds #CreateAuthentically #HechoEnMano #ColoradoProud #ColoradoMade #LadySmith #ladyboss U N T A M E D - This one was made for a wild soul, who is stronger than she knows. Forged by the elements and rooted in the West, she runs wild with the wind. . . . . I’m open to creating more of these little necklaces. DM me if you are interested in purchasing for yourself or another wild soul💛 . . . . #SouthwestInspired #Western #WesternJewelry #Caballera #HorseShoe #SilverJewelry #RioJeweler #CreateYourHappy #CalledtoCreate #ShopSmall #DurangoCO #NatureInspired #WildSoul #BeFree #WildernessCulture #Untamed Hi friends, it’s been quiet on my end. The balance between creating and teaching silversmithing classes, Spanish, and doing administrative work has been difficult. The fog of winter blues is starting to lighten up and I’m beginning to feel like me again. For now here’s something sweet, simple and close to the heart. It’s a silver mountain range ring featuring the beautiful #LaPlatas in our backyard. . . . . . . . #SilverJewelry #OptHandmade #MountainrangeJewelry #CustomMountainJewelry #SanJuanMountains #DurangoCO #HechoEnMano #ColoradoArtist #MountainJewelry #GetOutside #mountainmama I have bolo ties on the bench and they are looking for a good homes. Here is #1 - a unisex Saguaro Variscite bolo tie with a sweet flower design (made by a handmade Navajo stamp) on genuine grey leather cord. This one is $220 (including shipping) and will be available until Feb. 7. Get it while you can 💛 . . . . #BoloTie #Bolos #Variscite #SouthwestJewelry #EmpoweringJewelry #RockOut #BeBold #BeBeautiful #BeYou #ValentinesGifts #LadySmith #RioJeweler #RioInstructor When creating, it is almost as if I tap into another being. I ask permission to share with me what it wants. Sometimes, for weeks, it doesn’t speak. It doesn’t share. And that is okay. I continue to nourish it & fill my creativity in other ways. Then when least expected, sometimes in a busy crowd, in the middle of the night, in mass, etc - IT SPEAKS & I CREATE. I call this being “my light”. Others may call it the Universe, God, Allah, the Big Magic, etc… For me, my creative energy is rooted in the light; in the hopes that my creations can bring a little bit of love and light into this dark world. . . . . Here is one of my most recent creations. A talisman of love and light ✨💛 . . . #SacredHeart #CreativeEnergy #DivinePowers #CreateAuthentically #Authenticity #NourishAllThatIs #SilverJewelry #RioJeweler #RioInstructor #LoveYourself #AuthenticJewelry #Talisman #ValentinesDayJewelry #ElCorazonSagrado And I present to you my first round of hat pins. The idea of making these came to me a few years and with a little bit of encouragement from a friend, here they are. So cheers to good friends & trying something new! ❤️ We have a turquoise fan design, a simple stamped concha, a ram and a radiating heart. ❤️ So friends, what else would you like to see? . . . . If interested in purchasing DM me. All are available for limited time & the heart pin would be such a sweet #valentinesdaygift . . . #HatPins #HatSwag #WoolHats #HandmadePins #SouthwestInspired #HatsForTheRoad #SilverPins #SilverJewelry #OptHandmade #SupportArtists #DurangoCO #RioJeweler #RioInstructor
