Do you do special order or custom work?

Do we do custom work? Yes! If there is a piece of our jewelry you would like to see in a different metal or gold color, set with a different stone, or even have some elements changed, please ask! More often than not, we can make a piece of jewelry custom- just for you!

We can also create a new design just for you. We will have you work with one of our talented designers to come up with that special piece you've been dreaming of. There is a $250 non refundable design fee for any sketches or renderings of new designs. This fee will be credited towards your total cost of the item once you've approved the design.

If you have an idea for a custom design you can email us at service@walkermetalsmiths.com to get started or call us at 800-488-6347

Please do not send me photos of another craftsman's work and ask me to copy it. I respect other designers' copyrights and expect them to respect mine.

"If I show you a picture of something can you make it?" often is asking me to steal someone else’s design. I have two problems with this. If the designer is living it is probably a copyright design that would be unethical and illegal for me to copy, but also I am a designer in my own right and what precious time I spend carving new models I intend to spend on my own designs

Hi,
So having read your above piece about not doing reproductions of someone else’s work, I wonder if you’d be interested in doing a historical reproduction from Iron-Age Ireland. I’m working on obtaining a copy of the Loughnashade trumpa with the blessings of Ancient Music Ireland who were the first people to bring this ancient instrument back to life with authentic replicas. I have the trumpet part of the instrument finished in brass, but have been having trouble getting someone to finish the ornamented end plate. If you google Loughnashade trumpa you’ll see what I’m referring to. If this is of interest to you let me know, and we can discuss further details. Thank you.
