Flatulist/Jeweler
Doc fixes stuff, makes stuff, and tells horrible jokes. He has been an active jeweler for more than 20 years. He has a doctorate in Biblical Studies, and divinity. He is a pastor, and still does occasional weddings or other services for Christians who are not currently involved with a church. He worked as a long haul trucker, holds federal CDL, and did ice road trucking. He will try to fix your jewelry, and try to make you laugh. Life is too short not to have fun every day.
What's up Doc?
In 20 years of jewelry making, we’ve probably made everything, from casting duplicates of ancient artifacts, to wire jewelry, lapidary, cutting stones, and lost wax casting. Our casting studio is finally usable, and we are currently casting pieces for next season, including mariners crosses, skull rings, and manatee charms. We specialize in silver jewelry, making one of a kind hand made pieces. We repair fine gold jewelry, can repair or replace settings, and often can succeed at fixing pieces that have had problem repairs. We need to see a piece before we can give an estimate, but we always give an estimate before starting the work. We are a small family run business, with low overhead, and our prices remain affordable.
