With wedding season coming, now is the time to get orders in for your hand forged damascus rings with silver, gold or fine stone settings. Feel free to contact with any questions. ❤️
Now Is the Time
Damascus Rings
I make some of the finest stainless steel damascus rings available, and I’m one of three or four international pioneers for high end damascus jewelry, going back nearly 25 years now. I get buried in the algorithms and factory makers because I remain committed to sole authorship & handmade quality. So thanks for finding me.
Intro to Casting
Had a very fun student this week for my two day intensive lost wax / sandcasting / injection mold class. Day one is carving, spruing and investing, and while the investment cures, intro to sandcasting. I burn out flasks the next morning for casting, clean up, and wax injection molds. My student wanted to take one wax signet ring and walk it through all the potential options for reproduction. Quite a success!
Winter Farmer’s Market
I’ll be attending the Montpelier, Vermont Farmer’s Market with jewelry and hand forged kitchen knives, bi-weekly, Saturdays from Dec to April. The bees are tucked in for Winter, and I’m hoping for a much bigger bee-yard next year. X fingers.
Kitchen Knives Coming
I’m going to make some kitchen blades, hopefully for the local Winter farmer’s market, but they’ll be for sale here too. Will post finished pieces.
Axes Incoming
Working up some walking / shepherd’s axes with footspikes for your country gentleman needs.
Nouveau Rings with Stones
New line of interlace rings inspired by Nouveau artists like Archibald Knox. Can do in silver or gold, with or without stones, which can go from 4-7mm. This is a lovely opal, size 7.25. Sizes start at 6. Inquire!
Damascus Rings
Shipping out some damascus rings. New stainless steel supplier worked out perfectly. Two lined in Sterling with rails and an inlay in 14K yellow, and one in 14k red. Guaranteed for a lifetime, resizable, and made 100% by hand from start to finish. The finest available.
Forging Up Some Rings
Yes, I am still making damascus rings. I am one of three or four who pioneered stainless damascus rings with precious metals and fine stone settings, nearly a quarter of a century ago. I am one of about that many who still make them by hand, from start to finish. They are worth it. ❤️
Honey Coming In
After a brutal Winter & Spring, the bees are starting to right themselves. Having decided last year to go part-time as a boutique honey beekeeper, I have sold out of all my honey, and I’m managing for as much as possible this year! I’ve started making my own frame foundation from 17 years of saved up wax… and it’s a lot of work, but a financial game-changer. Will add another hive & extend the electric fence for better solar wax melting, and it will be time to do first organic mite treatment & start the over-Winter insurance nucs. X fingers. ❤️
