COMMISSIONS · MADE FOR YOU
Forged with you in mind.
We accept a small number of custom commissions each year. Each piece is designed in conversation with you — your story, your symbol, your scale — and forged in sterling silver or 14k gold from our Truckee workshop.
What we forge on commission.
-
Rings
Signet, ritual, ancestral. With or without stone. Engraved or smooth.
-
Amulets
Pendants, talismans, protection pieces. Cosmologic symbols translated into metal.
-
Piercing tops
Threadless ends, gem settings, custom barbells in implant-grade titanium with gold or silver detail.

Process
How a commission moves.
