"I am extremely picky with my jewelery and had been taking forever to
decide on a wedding ring. I found Swank Metalsmithing and immediately
knew it was something special. After much deliberation, I finally pulled
the trigger on a custom ring by Chelsea and I'm so glad I did. It's
absolutely beautiful, one of a kind, and the quality is
fantastic...especially for the price!" - E

I didn’t actually want an engagement or wedding ring. I’d never seen one that I liked even remotely enough to want to wear 24/7. I don’t wear jewelry anyway, plus I’m a professional athlete, so the idea of constantly removing a ring and risking losing it made it hard to justify purchasing one.
And then, on my for-you-page, I came across your rings, and on your site I saw the shadow-box bat ring. I knew immediately that I had to have it.
I love that I am supporting a small, and local business (born and raised in PDX!); I love that I could make custom choices (metal color, stone color, lab grown diamonds - this was a non-negotiable when I thought about rings); I love that I have something unique and fantastical and a little bit strange that feels like ME!!
It is the ring I always hoped for, but didn’t even know existed. Your jewelry is what made me WANT to wear an engagement ring.
I cannot wait to show it off <3
