Chris Chaney is a jewelry designer, sculptor , and certified diamond grader who has been working in the jewelry industry all his life.
He graduated from the Gemological Institute of America in 1979 and he comes from
a second generation family owned jewelry business with a retail store located in
Big Spring, Texas.
Chris Grew up around Cotton farms and
often found work at these farms or at the local gins. He began designing complete lines of jewelry for his family
store in 1980 and spent several years doing one of a kind custom design work.
In 1994, he designed his first piece of Cotton Boll jewelry
for a local farmer's wife. After great reception and success of the Cotton boll
Line , which now includes over 100 different styles, he began designing peanut
jewelry in 1997, launching over 60 different styles.
Mr. Chaney travels to
several farm trade shows to display and sell his creations every year and at
these shows he has requests from farmers growing other crops. This has led to
new designs in corn, wheat, soybean, rice, tomato, sunflower, and grape designs.
There are
also a few styles available depicting mallard ducks and also a magnolia
enamel piece. Chris relies upon God for his inspiration in the creation of
all the pieces he makes. There are many more design themes he has planed for in
the future, including other agriculturally related items, as well as floral
themes. If you're interested in reading an article written by Lana Williams
