Jay Young-Designer/Creator 

My father was a big influence, in my life, he always instilled in his children to work hard and you can accomplish anything you want and be successful. When I was 8 yrs. old, I worked in his shop building portable buildings, garages, and outdoor buildings, and construction jobs, this where I got my eye for design. I was always encouraged by dad that I could do anything in life and to believe in myself.

How I got started into Silver plated silverware, five years ago, my wife brought home an antique silver-plated spoon, she asked me if I could make a ring out of it. I made her a ring and all her friends saw it and wanted rings made. I knew if I could bend silver ware for rings, I could make bracelets, earrings, and Critters and sculptures, I put every ring and bracelet on to make sure it comfortable, I love, making jewelry and sculptures, and also do special orders, out of your family’s antique sterling or silver-plated silverware.

I have been selling at craft shows and local retail stores for the last 5 yrs.
