Jonathan, thanks for joining us again. We’re so excited to have a product focused conversation today. Can you bring our readers up to speed on the product side?
At the heart of my work is the art of hand engraving—a timeless craft that I’ve reimagined with a fresh, modern twist. My engravings are truly one of a kind, combining the precision of traditional techniques with a bold, illustrative style that takes inspiration from tattoo art. Every piece is meticulously engraved by hand, allowing me to infuse an extraordinary level of detail and personality into each design. While many engravers focus on scrollwork, which I admire, I’ve carved my own niche by embracing a more artistic, story-driven approach that sets my work apart.

What inspired me was the realization that engraving often followed a more classical and traditional path, leaving little space for designs that felt daring, modern, and deeply personal. I wanted to offer something fresh—pieces that are wearable art, designed for those who want to express their individuality and stand out from the crowd.

My work appeals to anyone who appreciates the artistry of something handcrafted, unique, and meaningful. It fills a gap in the market by providing engraving that breaks the mold, merging old-world craftsmanship with a contemporary, edgy twist.

Who is this product for and who is it probably not a good fit for?
My engravings are perfect for anyone who wants to stand out and wear pieces that tell a story—those who seek something meaningful, different, and bold. Whether you’re a collector of unique jewelry, a lover of tattoo-inspired art, or someone who enjoys wearing items that spark conversations, these pieces are designed with you in mind.

However, this product might not be for those who prefer more traditional, mass-produced designs or are looking for something purely utilitarian. My work is about celebrating individuality and pushing creative boundaries, so it’s best suited for those who embrace the extraordinary and aren’t afraid to make a statement.

If you had to boil your product or brand down to one core message – what would that message be?
At the heart of my brand is the belief that jewelry and engraving should be as unique as the person wearing it. In a world of mass-produced, low-quality goods, I focus on bringing high-quality, handmade, small-batch artistry back to the main stage. Each piece is designed to celebrate individuality and help people express their bold, authentic selves.

What are you most thankful for?
I’m most thankful for the incredible privilege of waking up every day to live my life through art. It’s never been an easy journey, but it’s my true purpose, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’m deeply grateful for every client, new and old, who continues to support my work and makes it possible to send my jewelry out into the world. Their belief in my craft keeps this dream a reality.

Starting my own brand has felt like an uphill battle at times, but I’ve learned that there’s always a breathtaking view around the next corner as I climb this mountain. For that, and for the chance to create something meaningful every day, I am profoundly thankful.
