My name is Mark Teter. I like the "hands-on" experience of creating wearable art, much like the satisfaction I get from my "day job" as a family physician.

I am American Indian(Comanche-Cherokee-Laguna Pueblo). I've always been drawn to the more traditional elements such as sterling silver and turquoise, as well as beading. However, my wife and daughter have broadened my appreciation of more modern, fun jewelry design. In fact, the most joy I have is creating jewelry for my family. Now, I've branched out into chainmaille and I think I've finally found my true calling when it comes to jewelry design and creation!
