The difference between what I make & what you’ll find elsewhere:

 I meticulously hand-craft each piece of jewelry I make from scratch. The process and methods I use are in following with my Longhouse beliefs. I pass only positive energy into your piece thru prayer, Thanks Giving Address, smudging (3 Song Tobacco, Cedar, Sage & Sweetgrass), as well as a constant meditation of peace throughout the making process. Very few Silversmiths use spiritual smithing methods, and most cast their jewelry, taking any love that could’ve been in the piece out of it.

 Casting is the very effortless & basic process of mass-producing jewelry by pouring molten (melted) silver into a pre-designed jewelry mold, and letting it cool for a couple of minutes before polishing it. The difference between what I do & what most other Silversmiths do (and why my prices are as they are) is that my jewelry can take several days to make (labor time involved and smithing methods). Each of my Sterling Silver pieces are solid sterling, made with lots of love, peace and attention to detail throughout the entire jewelry making process. Each groove, curve, bend, corner, cut, image, crushed stone, is meticulously hand-made or crafted.

 All creations on this site are entirely my own. I would like you to buy a Vince Gant creation for no other reason than your appreciation for my unique designs and meticulous craftsmanship. These pieces are intended to be heirloom jewelry, cared for and passed down for many generations.

 Custom orders are welcomed, but please be aware that I do not re-create jewelry from any other source. None of my pieces are recreations or copies of any other artisan's work, culture, or craft, just my own. If you'd like a piece or pieces designed for you, just email me.
