​

I am a (at least) 3rd generation creative. My mom created primitive art pieces and painted barn wood. My father worked with stained glass. My grandmother was a musician, my grandfather an artist. My brother does some pretty epic things with both leather and wood. I guess it's in the blood. I have been creating things all my life but I never really felt like I found myself until the first time I worked with metal. I was home.


Hand stamping is a much more durable and permanent method of creation than engraving or printing (sublimating). The design will not wear off and is deeper than most engraving. Each letter and design is individually hammered BY HAND. No two pieces will ever be exactly alike.

The sustainability of our planet is important to us and we try to help reduce our environmental impact whenever possible. Our standard interior packaging is completely recyclable, from the paper card to the BOPP sleeve. We try to recycle packaging when we can for larger orders and use sustainable methods whenever possible. We process all orders using electronic means (tablets) and try to avoid unnecessary paper waste. We use natural and LED lighting in our studio. Our precious metals are refined at a location that is environmentally and energy responsible. We recycle all acceptable waste/scrap metal to help reduce our landfill footprint.
We source many of our supplies and materials from other small businesses, so purchasing from us helps other small businesses as well.
