The story of Sky Horse began with a shared passion for discovery and a deep respect for the artistry of nature. Co-founded by Ron Alexander, Chris Barone, and Michael Affatato, Sky Horse brings together a diverse array of experiences and skills, united by a love for the unique beauty of turquoise and the cultural heritage of the Southwest. The name "Sky Horse" was inspired by Ron Alexander's travels in China, where he first encountered exceptionally high-quality turquoise. Captivated by the mythical flying horse "Tianma," Ron saw a parallel in the vibrant, enduring quality of the stone he discovered and the spirit of the Southwest.
Each founder contributes a unique perspective to Sky Horse: Ron’s expertise in turquoise and his pioneering work in sourcing the finest stones, Chris’s innovative spirit and dedication to transforming artistic visions into wearable art, and Michael’s technical prowess and deep knowledge of geology and design. Together, they have created a brand that blends tradition with innovation, celebrating the timeless beauty of natural materials and the stories they tell.
At Sky Horse, our approach is rooted in a deep respect for artistry, craftsmanship, and the natural beauty of the American Southwest. We believe that every piece of jewelry should be a reflection of its origins, crafted with care and authenticity. That's why we work closely with skilled artisans and renowned artists to create designs that honor both traditional techniques and contemporary aesthetics.
We are committed to using high-quality, genuine materials, from ethically sourced gemstones to fine silver and gold, ensuring that each piece is as enduring as it is beautiful. Our process is guided by a passion for storytelling, where every design tells a tale of adventure, culture, and the timeless spirit of the Southwest. By combining innovative design with a dedication to quality, we strive to create jewelry that resonates with our customers and becomes a cherished part of their lives. At Sky Horse, we are not just crafting jewelry—we are creating wearable art that connects you to a rich heritage and inspires a sense of wonder and discovery.
