Fold-forming refers to series of metalsmithing techniques pioneered by Charles Lewton-Brain. I used cross-folds to form the copper front of this buckle, adding accents in sterling silver and a heavy brass backing. The buckle is 3" x 2.25" and will fit any standard, removable, snap-on 1 1/2" belt.

Alex made the ring exactly to my specifications. It looks really great, and I am very satisfied with his work.
I had some initial concerns with the penultimate version of the bracelet/cuff I requested, which the designer expertly accommodated prior to shipping the final version. The cuff is beautiful!
I love my product, very high quality, gorgeous cufflinks that people will rave about, very polished finish, perfect noticeable size. Very reasonable price for a good quality product. I would definitely recommend his service. I can't wait to work with this designer on my next product & future product for me and I will also use this designer for company products.
Artisans like Alex are why the CustomMade site is so great. He is an absolute master at his craft, and he truly made my vision come alive, in a form better than I had ever imagined. He completely hand-fabricates his artworks - his creations are genuinely works of art - and involves his patrons in every step of the process as well as caters to their every need. I will definitely come back to Alex whenever I am I need of a jeweler. Thank you Alex!
I am one happy costumer! Alex was prompt, friendly, and the communication was quick and informative. The charm is absolutely perfect and it is going to make a beautiful gift. Thank you, Alex!
