A little extra care can keep your rings looking and feeling their best.

Avoid harsh chemicals such as bleach remove jewelry when showering, deep
cleaning, going in the hot tub, pool etc. to avoid buildup.

We have a lot of hardened metals in our world today that can scratch and
ding precious metals like silver & gold. Avoid things with metal
handles like garden tools. The serrated metal of gym equipment and free
weights are the worst it is best to leave your jewelry at home when
going to the gym doing yard work etc.

Gemstones vary in their hardness and durability. Softer gems require more care.

Example of softer gems - pearls, moonstone, quartz.

Example of harder gems - sapphire and diamonds.

You can research the Mohs scale for more information.

For at home cleanings I recommend using a soft tooth brush and some warm
soapy water. I recommend a mild and natural soap like a Dr. Bronners or
a Mrs. Meyers. If your ring has stones you want to be sure to clean
behind them as well to help them stay extra sparkly.

If you have a high shine silver ring that you want to stay as shiny as
possible store it in an air tight container when not wearing it to avoid
oxidization.

This ring is part of my Catacomb collection that originated as an art challenge submission for Drawlloween and has grown from there. 
The elements of this collection are bones, skulls and tiny golden pebbles.

I have set a gorgeous green Chatham Emerald 8x6 oval in the center of a pair of 2 skeleton buddies that I designed myself bone by bone. The Chatham Emerald weighs approx. 1.50 carats. Underneath each skeleton is a tiny additional Chatham Emerald, they have a combined carat weight of approx. .04 carats.

From the Chatham website - These gemstones possess the same physical, optical, and chemical properties as their mined counterparts. Chatham gemstones are grown by duplicating the conditions deep within the Earth; the temperature, the pressure and the chemical makeup. Chatham is recognized as the world's leader in premium quality lab grown colored gemstones.

Testimonials

"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

About Us

Hello, I am Chelsea Swank a second generation jeweler based out of Portland Oregon. My Dad, Gary Swank opened his first jewelry store in 1973 well before I existed. I grew up in the family shop and as fate would have it I ended up hanging out around the workshop a little too much and fell in love with the craft. I have been training under my Father since 2010.

My Mom, Karen Swank also works here doing metal work and is highly skilled and has been with us for about 10 years.

My partner Cliff Denney joined our team in 2024. We originally met because he was our mailman here at the workshop. Him and I (Chelsea) fell in love and we decided to have him join the team and start learning the metalsmithing craft.

Our focus is in high quality craftmanship and unique designs slow made with love and care.
