His parents are lifetime silversmith’s with his mother’s family having 5 generations, and his father’s family with 2 generations. Charles has worked full-time as a silversmith since the age of 20. He first started inlaying at the age of 13 for a few years while learning both. Starting with traditional Navajo jewelry, Charles then went into Navajo contemporary jewelry, then onto the Western style with swirl design cutouts. The majority of his jewelry are cutout overlay on bracelets, and buckles with Petroglyph designs (Anasazi drawings). He also enjoys bracelet overlay with Western style and swirl design.
