After spending 3 years completing a degree as a fine metals designer at the Institute for Precious Metals, Walker Jewelry was dreamed up while I was in school studying sustainable design at the Copenhagen School of Design and Technology.
Take a look at what makes Walker Jewelry unique.
Make Your Own Wedding Rings
Spend a Saturday or Sunday at the Walker Jewelry studio with a hands on experience like no other. Workshop prices start at $800 per couple + materials cost. The materials cost depends on your desired style and metal. Options include 14kt-18kt yellow gold, 14kt-18kt palladium white gold, and 14kt-18kt rose gold. Palladium silver is also available as it is a stronger and more durable silver than sterling and is a great budget friendly option. The typical range of 14kt yellow gold is $400-$1200 for two rings. The typical materials cost for palladium silver is $400. For a more accurate materials cost please provide your desired metal width or schedule a complimentary consultation.
To schedule a complimentary consultation- email: lindsay@walkerjewelry.com
Workshop includes:
*A full day of private instruction led by Lindsay Walker that typically lasts 6-8 hours.
* At least two practice silver rings and two final wedding bands in 14kt/ 18kt gold or silver
*Complimentary lunch, refreshments, and a champagne toast at the end of the day
*High Quality Ring Box of Your choice
*Digital images of your day and process!
Core Values
Sharing my knowledge through ring making classes for Nashville visitors to wedding ring workshops for couples is an amazing way to keep craft alive, inspire confidence, and possibly explore new careers for aspiring jewelry makers.
I began my journey in metal working 15 years ago as a coppersmith, hand making reproductions of antique copper lanterns found in my hometown of Charleston, SC for the Urban Electric Company. As a passionate craftsperson, all of Walker jewelry is handmade using traditional goldsmith/silversmith bench techniques.
Responsible Gem Sourcing may seem daunting at times, but I carefully select my suppliers for their transparent sourcing and quality gemstones. My suppliers know where the gemstones come from and give back to the communities where they are sourced as well. I also gladly work with existing heirloom diamonds, gemstones, and solid gold supplied by customers.
Each year I make sure to be involved in volunteering within the local arts community. Past and present non profits of involvement include Tennessee Craft and The Arts and Business Council.
