Born in Gallup, New Mexico, Randy Boyd has been an active silversmith since 1990. Navajo silversmith Randy Boyd began making jewelry at the age of sixteen and has been working professionally as a jeweler for over twenty years.

In his spare time he raises cattle and practices roping in his backyard. His old style jewelry is made with the highest quality natural stones with Randy's unique flair for design. Randy has spent decades honing his sterling silver skills. He worked for legendary Navajo artist Ray Tracey where he learned how to make very stylish pieces.

Then he would later show up doing piece work for several Traders in town, before ending up in the workshop of Stoneweaver. This is when he did more traditional silver work, turquoise and heavy silver. Randy has made many pieces of silver and stone, and each piece is done with style and quality.
