I was raised on a ranch in Arizona, where the beauty of the desert, the culture of the Southwest, and a strong work ethic shaped who I am. Creativity has always been part of my life, whether through jewelry making or my lifelong passion for ballroom dancing. Both bring artistry, movement, and joy to everything I create.
My journey as a jeweler began in the early 1970s. Driven by curiosity and a love of craftsmanship, I taught myself the art of jewelry making and have spent decades refining my skills. What began as a creative outlet became a lifelong passion.
I work with a variety of traditional techniques, including cuttlebone casting, Keum-boo, tufa stone casting, lost wax casting, and lapidary work. I carefully select each stone for its natural beauty and character, allowing every piece to tell its own story.
My Native American heritage has given me a deep appreciation for turquoise, a stone that often inspires my work and reflects my connection to the Southwest.
Above all, family is at the heart of everything I do. I'm a proud father and grandfather. Every piece I create reflects a lifetime of craftsmanship, creativity, and individuality — made to be worn, treasured, and passed down for generations.
Arizona Brothers & Company is the latest chapter — a marketplace, a gallery, a school, and a gathering place. His daughter has a storefront here. Future artists he trusts will earn their place here. The standard that earned his name across Arizona is the same standard every artist in this marketplace is held to.
Each piece begins with a conversation and evolves into something uniquely personal. Whether inspired by a client's vision, a meaningful stone, or the beauty of the Southwest, Robert's work is grounded in craftsmanship, creativity, and a deep respect for the stories jewelry can carry.
Many people are surprised to learn that a lifelong jeweler is also a dedicated competitive ballroom dancer. To me, the two have always gone hand in hand.
Both require patience, practice, and a willingness to keep learning. Whether I'm creating a piece of jewelry at the bench or stepping onto the dance floor, the goal is the same: to bring creativity, beauty, and joy into the world.
Over the years, the Arizona dance and arts communities have become an important part of my life. They have provided friendship, inspiration, and support, and I am grateful for the relationships and experiences we've shared along the way.
This space is a celebration of those communities, the people who make them special, and the connections that continue to inspire my work every day.
Arizona Brothers & Company was created as a place to bring together family, craftsmanship, and community.
After decades spent creating jewelry, building relationships, and sharing his work throughout Arizona, Robert wanted to create something that could continue beyond any single collection or season. A place where artists can share their work, stories can be preserved, and future generations can build upon what came before.
Today, his daughter's work is featured here alongside his own, and over time the marketplace will welcome other artists who share a commitment to craftsmanship, creativity, and integrity.
More than a marketplace, Arizona Brothers & Company is a celebration of the people, relationships, and creative spirit that make handmade art meaningful.
Every storefront here was curated. Built around artists who care about craftsmanship, community, and the stories behind the art.
The original. Over three decades of silverwork, stone setting, and handmade jewelry made in Prescott. Every piece carries the weight of the work that came before it.
A fresh voice in the same craft tradition — bold stones, clean metalwork, and the personal attention that no big brand can replicate. Every piece is one-of-a-kind.
This space is waiting for the right artist. If you make things by hand with real intention and want a marketplace built around community — we want to hear your story.
Three decades of hard-earned knowledge, shared freely. Because the point of mastering something is eventually to give it away.

Everything he has learned at the bench — not from a textbook, but through thirty years of actually doing it — broken down for collectors, beginners, and anyone who has wondered what makes a piece worth keeping for generations.

Ballroom dancing taught him things the bench never could — about showing up, reading a room, and the particular embarrassment of being a beginner at something you desperately want to be good at. Those lessons belong here too.

Arizona Brothers & Company is building a curated marketplace for artists who care about craftsmanship, story, and community. We don't accept everyone — we're not trying to. We're looking for makers who take their work seriously and their relationships with customers even more seriously.
If that sounds like you, tell us your story. That's really all we need.
Your work is made by hand, with intention. Quality isn't a selling point — it's the reason you do this at all.
Every great piece has a reason behind it. We want artists who can tell that story — not to market themselves, but because the story is part of the work.
Tell us who you are, what you make, and why Arizona Brothers & Company feels right. We read every application personally — no algorithm, no automated rejection. Just two people deciding if this is a good fit.
