About John
John Weber learned Silversmithing in the early 1970's, while attending Colorado State University. His teacher was a local jeweler and rock shop owner in Fort Collins, Colorado. After making several pieces of jewelry for family and friends, John realized he had a knack for designing and hand crafting silver and turquoise jewelry.
​
After moving back to Southern California to attend California State University Long Beach, John began creating one of a kind Silver jewelry for various jewelry dealers and retailers. His work incorporated Turquoise, Opal, Coral, Ivory, Jet, Ironwood and other precious and semi-precious materials. His unique designs and one-of-a-kind pieces were considered works of art as much as they were jewelry. After graduating CSULB, John worked full time as a Silversmith and made some of his most amazing pieces during this time. Sadly, photos of some of his most impressive works have been lost over time.
John eventually opened his own Silver Jewelry and Native American Art Gallery in 1980, selling not only his own unique jewelry but all types of Native American arts and crafts. As the silver and turquoise market began to fade, John was forced to close his store in 1983.
​
John then joined the Riverside County Probation Department where he worked as a Deputy Probation Officer for 26 years, before retiring in 2009.
​
In 2019, John resumed designing and fabricating one of a kind, custom designed pieces of silver jewelry. Along with his new custom made pieces, he is also offering numerous pieces from his vintage jewelry collection, created between 1970 1nd 1974.
