Hi Melinda,
We would love to talk to you about rings! I’m posting today a blog about a story ring that we’ve done for a customer that you will probably enjoy. The usual way we work long distance is to have you consider motifs/subjects/totems that appeal to you then share those design ideas with us and we both discuss the possibilities and go from there. This blog today is a picture of the wax of the ring that will be cast for these folks. Email us with your thoughts at owen@walkergoldsmiths.com We’ll be looking forward to it. August 4th is no problem!!

Carl (Milner) and I would like to talk to you about matching NW “motif-ed” wedding bands: NW Native American designs, Doug or hemlock fir trees, birds, etc. We particularly like your Indian totem designs, but also wonder how you’d adapt our design ideas, too. Years ago, I purchased two hand-crafted rings whilst teaching in Australia; one was a platypus that wrapped around my finger, head-to-tail and the other was a rolling landscape of trees that featured a small cabin/house amid them. They were stolen. Guess I’m wishing I could bring them back through you and celebrate my blessings: Carl – and the home we share – surrounded by second-growth firs, cedars, hemlocks and a small pond. Please contact us. Wedding is this Aug. 4th.

Comment on Celtic Style Twisted Braid Engraved Diamond Wedding Ring…Done by Owen

Having been in the jewelry repair business for many years (for Zales among others) we have learned what will cost the consumer many dollars over time. One of those is a white gold crown to hold your diamond. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with a white gold crown, but if you are a real woman and do any kind of work those prongs that hold your diamond WILL wear out. The Platinum crown will last a lifetime. It cost about $100 to retip a white gold crown, and needs to be done every 3 or 4 years on average, you do the math! Our repair department is VERY lazy! We prefer to build for a life time of enjoyment NOT a life time of paying us to fix!

You’re very welcome, Ed & Tanya! It was very fun. And a good challenge especially to create the wolf / Bear ring. In fact I hope to get to do more of this kind of specifically detailed designing. Thanks for responding! I always get nervous about my “babies” and really want you to be satisfied!
