I'm sharing this not because things are tight for these great folks. Things are tough for many of us these days. That would be a good enough reason but it pales in comparison to the actual reason for this share...

The stuff they make is awesome. They made my wife's wedding jewelry and customized it exactly to her taste. The piece was not only perfect and by all accounts stunning but you could actually feel the love that went into making it.
They've made photography related items and owl things. They do new age stuff that gives you hope for the future. I meant to say that it's not just trinkets that the do. It's things you will treasure always.
I've got other jewelers in my circles. They do some nice stuff. As much as I love them I will asked look to Colin and Corey first for things fit myself our for presents. You should too.
Go. Look. Buy. Love. And please share them in your circles. You'll be glad you did.

Guys, I need help. Life just got damned tricky, and although the rent is paid and food is on the table, I just had to scale down/cancel holiday gifts for all five of my proximate kids --- and having an almost ten year old tell me, without prompting, that "It's all right, Grandma Corey, I can go to Disneyland some other year. We love you." pretty much broke me in half.

Like my stuff? I can still fill custom orders until the 20th. Choose a color scheme, a semi-precious gemstone (we have fluorite, amethyst, tiger eye, green, blue and red aventurine, onyx and obsidian, half a dozen shades of quartz, sodalite, lapis and more), or fancy czech glass. Specify subdued, bold, classic, modern... and then trust me. If you don't like the result, we keep it to sell via Etsy and try again. 

A full set -- earrings, bracelet and necklace -- can be made for $50. I think I can get testimonials, but let me be clear... out of 75-100 or so orders/gifts this year, only one person has bought only one of my pieces. And he's a very  recent client who happily paid three figures for a statement necklace.

People seem to be happy with the quality. These are sturdy, well made and designed to be passed down through the years. I can't afford sterling silver fittings unless you pay in advance, but silver and gold plated fittings, those we have.

Artists, EMTs, nurses, housekeepers, programmers, crafters -- they all own and wear a Fisk-Gerbode original, or three. Care to join their ranks?

It'd be a huge help.
