Jeff DeMent creates each of his pieces by hand using a traditional Diné (Navajo) technique known as Tufa Casting, a method that dates back over 200 years to the 1800s. His original designs are meticulously carved into tuff, a compressed volcanic ash commonly referred to as Tufa Rock, to form a mold. Once the mold is heated, molten silver is poured into it to shape the piece.
After the casting process, the silver is annealed, hand-cut, filed, and formed. High-grade, natural turquoise is then carefully inlaid into a bezel setting. Each Tufa mold is used only once, ensuring that every piece Jeff creates is truly one of a kind.
