Really!  Having Custom Wedding Rings made IS easier than you may think. Have you ever thought about wearing a custom wedding ring that reflects the real you? Many people have come to Walker Goldsmiths telling us that they feel like they’ve been stuck wearing someone else’s wedding rings. The one they bought or were given really isn’t something they’re happy with and the thought of wearing it all their lives is not an exciting idea, or the ones they are looking at in the Jewelry stores leaves them cold. We can easily and happily fix that for you. Let Walker Goldsmiths work with you to produce the custom wedding rings that are the real you.

Do you really want a custom engagement ring made for your fiancé that represents the sand dunes and surf where you first fell in love? Maybe you would even like to have a part in designing this ring so a little part of your spirit is in this design, or as a couple you would like to design rings together to represent a meaningful experience for just you two. There are many reasons why some people want custom made jewelry; some are just because they want one-of-a-kind and some are because the jewelry then carries special meaning to them. This is the essence of custom jewelry; emotionally important pieces of jewelry that reflects the real YOU.

Potlatch Collection Sterling Earrings and Pendants

Janet Walker Using Lost Wax Method

Our past newsletters have been talking about lost wax casting with the focus on Custom Rings. We also lost wax cast Sterling Silver Earrings and Pendants. They are the foundation of our ‘Potlatch Collection’ The casting process for the earrings and pendants pushes the limits of lost wax casting because they are big enough to be flashy yet light enough to be wearable. Silver both conducts and looses heat faster than any other metal, so because it cools so fast it’s difficult to cast something as small and light as an earring. Yet, with years of trial and error, Owen has developed our own successful technique.

What is a Potlatch? The lavish celebration of the Potlatch was a commemoration of an important event in the lives of Northwest Coast Indians.

Whether the occasion was a birth, death, marriage, inheritance, the giving of property, a name, or privilege, the host demonstrated his wealth by presenting gifts to each person who was then an official witness. Common among such gifts would be decorative art pieces, wood and stone carvings, ornate basketry, household goods, and jewelry of copper, iron, silver and gold.

We created the Potlatch Collection because of our own northwest roots, and our love of the country, climate and the culture. Jewelry remains the perfect way to celebrate today’s special events, and our original pieces are true to traditions of Northwest Coast Indian myth and legend.

The Potlatch Collection includes 10 different designs of earrings and pendants that retail for $50.00 each; Bear, Beaver, Eagle, Frog, Hummingbird, Orca, Raven, Salmon, Whale & Wolf. The Sterling Pendants come with an 18 in. Sterling chain and the Earrings have Sterling Shepherd hook ear-wires.
