Born in 1946 in Colorado, Richard Paul Lindsay is a talented artist, silversmith and designer whose jewelry pieces have become highly collectible. He began crafting silver jewelry nearly fifty years ago after moving to Tesuque in Santa Fe County, New Mexico in the mid-1970s. Following the artistic traditions of local silversmiths, he combined authentic Native American motifs and classic American design in his design. To create jewelry, Richard used high-quality gold, silver, precious and semi-precious stones. The designers marked his jewelry with the initials “RL” with a triangle logo, or “Richard Lindsay” in script.
Celebrities who have worn Lindsay jewelry include Meryl Streep, Madonna, Sandra Bullock, Paris Hilton, and more. The designer’s work has been featured on television and in the press, including Accessories, Ladies Home Journal and Life magazines.
Noteworthy, during his creative activity he launched several jewelry trademarks. First of them, in particular, was “RL” trademark registered in 1975 and active until 2004. Then, Walking Trout (1976), Happy Critters (1983-1998), Howling Coyote (1985-2005), Richard Lindsay Designs (1986-1993), and Brewski (1989-1995). Also, three trademarks “Lindski”, “Life In The Food Chain”, and “Zeno The Doggy Wonder” registered in 1992 ceased to exist in 1999.
