Mokume Gane Wedding Rings & Fine Art Jewelry
I am proud to offer quality craftsmanship and obsessive attention to detail in all of my work. My meticulously hand-crafted custom wedding rings, vessels, boxes, bracelets and other jewelry are all created using the traditional metalsmithing tools of file, handsaw, torch, and hammer. I fuse my own mokume gane billets right here in my studio and create everything from scratch using ethically sourced metals. Browse ring designs and get a free quote.

Next we'll take a deep dive into the art of hinge making with the famous hand engraver Jerry Blanchard and his Monterey buddies!

Thank You #HealthCareHeroes
A Free Class for a Health Care Hero. COVID has taken a lot from us in the past 6 months. We went from a thriving school to moving online and closing our storefront. We lost Anne's aunt Bernice (most likely of undiagnosed COVID) and Ame's aunt Jewel died when COVID swept through her assisted living facility. Sometimes it feels like a monster invisibly stalking us, we never know who it will brush past and who it will grab. It takes courage just to get groceries. But while we are wearing our masks and staying home, many courageous people are walking directly into harm's way every day to help the rest of us. From essential workers making deliveries and staffing stores to emergency first responders keeping us safe to all of the people behind the scenes we say, with deep gratitude and humility, Thank You. We see you, we are sincerely grateful for your efforts. Of all of these, there is one group for which we feel an especially deep sense of gratitude and respect. These people suit up and face the monster directly every day. They are our Health Care Heroes. No matter what your job is, if your work involves COVID patient care we would like to humbly offer a free pass (including materials kit) to our upcoming Riveted Photo Pendant online class. Get details.
