A note from the founder and metalsmith of AM Creative Metals
Al Montoya
My passion for creating jewelry began after spending some time in my brother-in-law’s jewelry shop in the mid 90s. I watched how he melted gold, rolled it out and created beautiful pieces of jewelry with it. I was hooked. He taught me the basics and from there on, I took class after class. After years of creating jewelry as a hobby and retiring from my job of 30+ years, I turned my passion into a business.
I am fundamentally a minimalist when it comes to jewelry. Shaping pieces of precious metals and turning them into wearable jewelry is what I enjoy doing most. I love learning new methods, techniques and applying them to my craft.The Studio Collection has handmade pieces I created while The Gold Mine and The Silver Shop have other quality jewelry that I selectively picked out, with plans to add more to both in the near future. I strive to make your jewelry buying experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
I make every effort to source from ethical companies when available. Packaging products are FCS certified products / FSC Mix 70% www.fsc.org.
Looking forward to doing business with you.
Sincerely,
Responsibly Sourced
