Meet the Founder

I'm Chad — a silversmith carrying on a craft my father taught me, part of a family line that helped establish Southwest metalwork generations ago. For more than a decade, I've made it my mission to preserve tradition — and to me that means more than the objects I make.

It's stewardship: reclaiming wisdom and skill nearly lost to time, and rightly ordering life around faith, family, and work. The Common Company is that work — and the community that believes in it.

— Chad Barela, Founder & Silversmith
