Frequently Asked Questions

We have Jewlery in several locations throughout the Black Hills here in South Dakota! Prairie Edge in Rapid City, Things that Rock in Hill City, Aspire Boutique in Lead and the Junk Drawer in Spearfish. We occasionally do shows & are always happy to welcome you into our home studio to shop, get repairs done or design something custom! Contact us for an appointment,

We enjoy working with mixed metals: Sterling Silver, Copper, Gold Filled and of course we love using a wide array of precious and semi-precious stones and beads. Each piece is unique and mindfully hand crafted by Gary & Nancy.

Yes, we sell wholesale to shops and boutiques with a minimum purchase & proof of your business location & information. Please contact us directly, thank you.

Yes, we look forward to working with clients creating those very special one-of-a-kind pieces! Contact us to discuss your custom order. Please allow up to 3 weeks if planning your custom piece as a gift.

We strive to ship your order of any jewelry already in the online shop within 1-3 days of purchase. Custom orders & the "Made to Order" items do take longer.  An approxomate time frame is 2 - 3 weeks for those. You will receive a tracking number as soon as your order ships. 

Yes. And no. Some pieces we will have to decline, but we will ALWAYS explain to you WHY something cannot be fixed after looking your items over. Generally speaking, yes, we do a LOT of repair work: re-stringing or re-working older or broken pieces seems to be the biggest request. But remember - it's always a no if you never ask, so just ASK! 

We keep our class sizes small in order to give each student ample time to capture the concepts & methods & to practice with the tools that each class introduces you to. Plan on 3 hours, but know there are times we may go a little longer longer., or even finish a little early!

Absolutely NOT! We welcome the beginners & the more practiced equally! We do require that you take the Basics in Silversmithing before you attend the more advanced class, however. 

We would prefer over 16 for the silversmithing, since you will be using a torch & other tools. Some leeway can be applied if the parent is also attending the class. The other jewlery making classes are open to most ages able to use basic hand tools & follow direstions while in a 3 hour class, thank you.

We work out of our home studio in the beautiful town of Spearfish, SD located in the Northern tip of the Black Hills. We have a nice little silversmith workshop and a separate "beading/design" area where our 2 kitties, Gus & Frank lounge in the sun & help us stay groudged & creative! We hope you'll feel free to visit sometime!
