Some pieces become part of a collection.
Others become part of a brand.
The Maker’s Ring is one of those pieces.
Featured in the signature portrait that represents Bootleg Silver Co., this is the original ring worn in the official brand image that has become the face of The Maker’s Merch Collection. From apparel and canvas prints to promotional materials, this one-of-a-kind ring has become inseparable from the story of my work as a metalsmith.
As Bootleg Silver Co. continues to grow, The Maker’s Ring will always remain the original work that became part of the studio’s visual identity—a piece that marks the intersection of craftsmanship, heritage, and the evolution of the brand itself.
At its center is a hand-carved Burmese Type A jadeite cabochon that I shaped myself, revealing soft moss green with natural hints of lavender throughout the stone. Flanking the jade are two carefully selected Arizona Kingman turquoise cabochons, creating a composition that bridges the landscapes that have shaped both my life and my work.
Entirely hand-forged from heavy-gauge sterling silver, the design reflects the philosophy behind the Desert Bloom Collection—bringing jadeite through an American Southwest lens while allowing every natural material to remain the focal point.
Like every piece in the Heritage Series, this ring was never created for a season or a trend. It was created to become part of someone’s story.
Today, it represents mine.
Tomorrow, it becomes part of yours.

What is Type A jade?
TypeA jade is natural, untreated stone — no bleaching, no polymer filling, no dye.It's the collector standard and the only grade we carry at JADEscape.Provenance documentation is available on request.
What is the difference between jadeite and nephrite?
Both are true jade, but different minerals.Jadeite is rarer, harder, and found in vivid colors including ImperialGreen.Nephrite is tougher with a silky texture, ranging from creamy white to deep forest green.We carry both.
What is Imperial Green jade?
ImperialGreen is the most prized color grade in jadeite — a vivid, evenly saturated green produced by trace chromium in the stone's crystal structure.TrueImperialGreen is highly translucent,with a depth of color that seems to glow from within.AtJADEscape, when we carry ImperialGreen material, it is always TypeA — natural and untreated.
How do I care for my jade piece?
Clean with a soft damp cloth and mild soap.Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, and prolonged sun exposure.Store separately to prevent scratching.With proper care,Type A jade lasts generations.
Do you provide certificates of authenticity?
At JADEscape, we source directly from the mines and the carvers themselves — our provenance comes from the relationship, not a certificate.The jade certification industry is largely unregulated and most commonly used by resellers.We can tell you exactly where a piece came from, who carved it, and what makes it genuine — because we were there.
