FAQs

  • Nope! My first collection is entirely silver due to the high price of gold. Every ring that I design is taken to a professional casting studio that works in a variety of metals. Gold is absolutely available with a deposit.

  • In this first collection of 10 unique rings, the sizes range from 4.75-10. Some pieces can be made to order in your size. Many more sizes and designs coming soon!

  • The price range (in CAD $) for this collection falls between $100-400. This does not including shipping costs. Each piece is completely handmade and unique unless stated otherwise!

  • Yes! My customs officially open back up on August 22nd, 2025. There will be a form here on my website where you can reach out and we can come up with something you’ll love.

  • There are many factors that influence the cost of a custom ring. Some factors include material (silver or gold), the size (amount of metal), and the style. I will provide you with an estimate once you submit a custom request form.

  • I use a method called “lost wax casting”. I create my designs using a hard wax which is filed, melted, carved etc. before being dropped off to be professionally cast. Once I have my designs back in metal, that’s when I sand, polish and/or set any gemstones.

  • Yes! If your residence is outside of the listed options I ship to, please let me know and I will add it to the list!

about bolder

Bolder is what came to exist when I seriously stopped and asked myself what I would do to make money if I could do what would make me happiest; which I acknowledge with great privilege. I am completely self taught using the wax method, and do not consider myself a silversmith or traditional jeweller, but rather a jewelry designer and ‘maker’ (as the wonderful maker, Tim, puts it). I’ve always adored jewelry and working with my hands in creative ways, but my first experience making jewelry from scratch and beginning to learn what it’s all about was in a workshop by Tim in Emerald Beach, NSW – Australia.

The name bolder is inspired by the ‘boulder’ opal, which is my favourite gemstone. I enjoy that it has a double meaning maybe not to everyone who comes across the name, but to myself.

A silver ring with a bird engraving, and a blue wax seal with the same bird design, both resting on navy blue fabric.
